Long text in operation

I am developing a smartform with help of abaper for pm check list.
in the task list operation i can select maximum of 40 characters,but my tasks are more than 40 characters.
what ever is written in the operation should show in my smartform.
but how do i tackle where my operations text is longer than 40 characters.
if i use long text how can i read the long text with the help of function module READ_TXT

Hi
you can use the function module READ_TEXT and reference tables are STXH,STXL.
input the following
CLIENT- actual
ID - PLPO
LANGUAGE- EN
NAME-- Text name from tables STXH

Long text for Operation in Tranasction IW32

Hello Experts,
I nned to display the short text and the Long text of Operations on a print out.For short text, I am importing data from memory using table AFVGD but i am not able to find out the data which is there in the long text.Kindly suggest how can i get the data like from which table or memory ID.
Thanks ,
Sahil

SAPscript long texts header are stored in STXH and lines are stored in non-transparent table ([Storing Text Components|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/d6/0db668494511d182b70000e829fbfe/frameset.htm]), The FM [READ_TEXT|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_40b/helpdata/pt/d6/0db8c8494511d182b70000e829fbfe/content.htm] is called to get those texts in an internal table.
To get the long texts id (OBJECT, NAME, ID, and LANGUAGE), call transaction IW33 (or 32) and display the text of an operation, then in the menu : goto, header data, you will get the constants "AUFK" and "AVOT", and the current language code and the "key" that you will have to interpret. When the text is not displayed in the sap script editor, you will need to debug the program to find the key, or use the search tool at sdn of course
Some samples for IW32/33 are :
- Order header: "AUFK", MANDT+AUFNR, "KOPF", "E"
- Operation: "AUFK", MANDTAUFPLAPLZL, "AVOT", "E"
- Material: "AUFK", MANDTRSNUMRSPOS, "MATK", "E"
- Utilities: "AUFK", MANDTAUFPLPZLFH, "FHMT", "E"

Error While uploading Long Text for Operations in IA05 Transaction.

Dear Team,
Good Day.
While we are trying to upload the Long Text through BDC for IA05 operations the text is updating in Database but it is not visible in the long Text field. Is it possible to upload the long text through BDC or any bapi's which can be used for the same. Any configuration needed for this please do the needful.
Regards,
Bhanu.

Hi Bhanu
correct me if im wrong, the long text is a multiline text, its an object for text, this cant be filled with BDC since this object can not be created in background mode, so i think the bdc skip the routines to fill this object, you can use the save_text function right after the transaction ends

Formatting Long Text gets disturbed during Adobe form Printing

Hi Guru's,
I have developed Adobe Form for PM work Orders (IW32) printing using Code u2018SFPu2019. The Order Contains order Long Text or Operation Long Text.
In my case the user maintains some table like structure in the Long text .e.g. ( Here the tab means the actual space and the text length can vary. So basically he will draw a table cells one below another by adjusting tab's)
Text 2 Tab Tab |___|___|
Te TabTab Tab |___|___|
I am reading this using READ_TEXT and it gets perfectly read.( I mean the tab positions will be intact. Also it will remain intact by the time ADS will get called)
When i submit this for generating Adobe Form the formatting of the tab positions gets disturbed and it prints something like
Text 2 |___|___|
Te |___|___|
How to keep the Tab positions intact while printing the Adobe Form? For SAP script printing it comes perfectly but for Adobe form printing it gets disturbed. Any idea how to handle this situation?
Thanks
Pradeep

Tough request!
You have to calculate the widths of texts so that to determine to which tab position refers each tab character.
You might print the sapscript to OTF format, and read the OTF to get the exact positions (based on top left border of the page).
But now comes the second big issue: how to position a text in Adobe form at a dynamic position. That, I don't know. You might ask a question about this 2nd issue in forum

Hi all,
I am entering Long texts for operations in standard SAP Transaction IW32.(Work Order Change)
On click of SAVE, user exit will be called, where we will check certain conditions for each operation.If condition doesn't satisfy, i have to rollback the changes done to Long Text for that operation, keeping the other changes done to Order intact.
Please let me know if any more clarification is required.

Operation Long text creation problem in IW32

Hi experts,
I have a requirement of showing a checklist pop up for all the new external operations in creating a MPA work order(IW32). And when the user answers the questions on the checklist, I have to copy all the questions and answers into the long text of the corresponding operation.
The problem here is,
for a case when the long text is not yet created for a new line item, when the pop up is shown and answers are filled, I am creating a new standard text using SVE_TEXT(setting the insert paramter 'X'), but the standard text is getting created in the database i.e a record is getting created in STXH with the text id, text name, text object of the operation. But when I go to IW32 and see the operation line it shows the create long text icon which says that the text is not created at all.
In a case where the long text is already created for the operation, and then the pop up is shown with the questions and answers are filled, the questions and answers are copied into the operation long text which is already created. So this works fine.
If any pointers regarding this please let me know.
Thanks and Regards,
Asha

Hi,
Try passing SAVEMODE_DIRECT = 'X' and check..
also check if the text exists using the function module READ_TEXT once you do the SAVE_TEXT..

SAVE TEXT not updating the database for Recipe Operation Long Texts

Hi,
We are trying to update the Recipe Operation long text using the FM SAVE_TEXT.
The FM is not throwing any error, but the changes are not reflecting in the database.
Text ID: PLPO
Text Object: ROUTING
Language: EN
Text Name: Concatenated string of ARBPL,PLNNR,OPRATIONCOUNTER
If someone faced similar scenarios, please share your inputs.
Thanks in advance,
Anand

After some more R & D, i got to know that the Long Text indicator should be enabled to get the changes reflected in the C203 recipe operation details.
In C202, if you pass two text lines for Operation long text, this Long text indicator is automatically enabled and its a non editable field.
Can some one provide inputs how to enable this through program?

Displaying operation long text in results recording screen

Hi, all!
I am trying to understand why I cannot display the operation long text when in results recording screen (either QE51N or QE01 transaction will not support displaying of operation long text).
I have checked all areas that I could think of in config to see if there is a display setting that will require to be activated and I could not find anything under Results recording, Inspection planning or General settings. I also tried to see if user settings may be making a difference and it did not. The SAP Help portal when talking of long texts available in results recording lists the following: Long texts for inspection lot, inspection method and inspection charcateristic. Nothing about operation long text.
However, the text is printed on the inspection instruction standard form.
SAP Notes has nothing on the subject that I could find.
So, as a last resort, I would like to ask if any other Quality Management specialist came across this and spent any time in determining if this can be done and why the information would not be displayed standard in the transactions. My client would prefer not to have to print the instructions in order to see the entire text. However, I do not see any standard way to have it displayed.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance!

Hi Senthil,
Don't know it will help or not. But if your MIC is qualitative then you can use the long text of catalog code in QS42.
Please refer below screen,
Click on the which help to maintain the long text.

Maintenance order - Copy header long text in first operation.

Hi gurus,
I have the following requirement I dont know hoy to solve it.
In our system, there is a certain maintenance order class for corrective operations. During creation, the short text in order header is transferred automatically to the first operation one.
But this behaviour doesn´t works with long text, although for each operation there is the possibility to enter a long text.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Hi Ole,
This is the standard Behaviour of the system as the system is designed to make sure that there are some Operation maintained in the Operation Tab, and if not maintained then copy the Header Text, that too for the Short Text only.
please make sure that you are calling the Task List or maintaining the operation in the Operation Tab.
Hope it helps you.

Error while uploading Long Text in IA05 through BDC.

Bhanu,
I've modified the previous message with a correction that, I had used this for uploading Activity lines Longtexts.
One more thing: After I faced some problem, I used split text in the code. i.e., Splitting the longtext into several lines (72 char each). Show these code lines to your ABAPer, may be he might be able to draw some clues.
In the BDC lines alongwith other fields the gold line below
PERFORM FILL_BDC_DATA       USING ' ' ' ' ' ' 'BDC_OKCODE' '=MX07'.
PERFORM FILL_BDC_DATA       USING ' ' ' ' ' '   'BDC_CURSOR' 'QMICON-LTAKTION(07)'.
PERFORM FILL_BDC_DATA       USING ' ' ' ' ' '   'VIQMMA-MATXT(07)' FS_FIELD-MNTXT7.
PERFORM SPLIT_LONGTEXT USING COL_COUNT.
Code for Form SPLIT_LONGTEXT is attached herewith (MATXT1 to MATXT7 are longtext split into 7lines )
Best of luck
