More than 160 characters in each text message

I don't get why Verizon made the switch for every other phone to be able to text more than 160 characters, but not for blackberrys.....

BlackBerry Messenger has more than 160 characters. Unlimited, maybe??? On my BB, two or three texts in a row show all together like one text. Do yourself and others a favor and either learn some texting shorthand, or learn how to get to the point. long texts are very annoying. SMS stands for Short Messaging Service. I try to remember that when I text. In my personal experience, I say wat too much whenever I send long texts. And once its sent, there's no taking it back!

Verizon, Texting more than 160 characters

I got my phone a couple months ago and noticed the blackberry doesnt let u txt more than 160 characters. however yesterday while on the subway, i hit reply to a sms txt message, and instead of saying 160 at the top. it said 124 of 1/6. and i kept txting and it let me text more than 1 page. i went to verizon and asked them about this and they said it must be a glitch, but i dont understand how its a glitch if it did it in the first place. and so im wondering if there is a way i can get it to txt more than 160 characters in a txt message.
thanks

The same thing has happened to me a couple of times. It gave me the option of 1/6 pages with 124 characters on each page. I've been meaning to go to the VZW store and ask about it but i guess they would just tell me the same as you. Have you heard/found anything else about it the matter? It won't even allow you to send more than 160 to another verizon carrier! I've never had that problem with any phone and i had a curve and i currently own a tour and both have done it in the period span of possessing them. Actually, i think the tour did it around the same date of your occurence. BB mess up? I have no clue. But, i really liked that concept. Why isn't it just an option. It's rather stupid. Either way i thought it was weird that we have had the same exact thing happen around the same time of the year but I also had it repeat the "glitch" a couple of times afterwards. There has to be a way to make that permanent. Or, at least, i hope.

How to put more than 1200 characters in a text form within a pdf created in Adobe Acrobat

I need to know how to put more than 1200 characters in a text form within a pdf created in Adobe Acrobat. I have a request from a customer to do so and after googling I have came up with nothing. Also the customer would like it if they could convert said pdf form to a microsoft word document with the text form.

There's no limit on the number of characters you can enter into a text
field, unless you set it as such.

Texting more than 160

Maybe this has been answered but i cannot find it through search. When will BB support auto brakin up of sms texting longer than 160 characters. I have 6 smart phones in my family, all from different manufacturers plus another for my work and all of them will automatically send out any sms message longer than 160 characters as seperate texts with a 1 of 2, 2 of 2 listing. No annoying field is full message. I know beyond 160 can be purchased but this should be fixed already. Does version 5 OS resolve this? If so i will have to wait for sprint to get off thier butts and approve it for the BB curve. Thanks

Anyone who's texting more than 160 characters is either using a third-party app (such as is available in AppWorld) or is using BlackBerry Messenger. The 160 character limit is a carrier-imposed limitation which is pretty much industry-wide (the shorter the messages, the more messages need to be sent, the more money they make).
I'm not sure of any such apps by name, but if you go to AppWorld and search under IM & Social Networking>Instant Messaging, you should find some that will accomplish getting around the 160 character limit. I believe what they do is to split your long message into two smaller messages, but atleast it saves you from having to stop typing after 160 characters.

Why is my iPhone 4S breaking up SMS messages that are shorter than 160 characters?

With my iPhone 4S running 5.1, I'll tap out a message that reads on the character counter as less than 160 characters. When I press send, I hear the "sent message" swoosh sound happen twice, as it does when the phone splits a long message into multiple parts.
The recipient confirms that the message does get split into two parts even though its contents did not exceed 160 characters. Through some experimenting, I have determined that it happens with messages that exceed 120 characters. In cases of messages with lengths 120-160 characters, it cuts the last word off and sends it as a separate message.
Why is this happening?
(In addition, checking my Google Voice history also confirms that the messages get split up even though they do not exceed the character limit.)

I'm having the same exact issue. I've only noticed it since I upgraded to IOS 5.1. Unless the SMS message is very short, it gets broken into at least two separate messages when I hit send. I think this is happening even if the message I'm sending is less than 120 characters.
It doesn't bother me either, but like AmZam05 mentions, I feel bad for the recipient who is now getting mulitple SMS messages from me when they would get a single SMS message prior to me upgrading to IOS 5.1.
EDIT: Wanted to add that this is with a Sprint iPhone 4S w/ IOS 5.1. I've also found some forum threads elsewhere speaking of the same problem others are having. There seems to be a "workaround" for this by adding a few blank spaces at the end of your SMS text message, then sending it.

More than 255 characters in a table text field

Dear experts,
i am facing a problem (in WD Alv too) that i can not display more than 255 characters in a single text field.
I want to display a table containing a description field without a limitation of its length. As soon as providing a (formatted) string longer than 255 characters of length, no interactive form is shown on screen.
Debugging a while, the following error message occurs;
ADS: com.adobe.ProcessingException: com.adobe.ProcessingException: XMLFM Exception - PDF render operation exception, reason code: 0 : InvalidXDPException: Xml parsing error: reference to invalid character number (error code 14) ...
Does anybody have similar problems to mine?
Did anyone resolve the issue to show more than 255 characters in a table in interactive form?
Regards,
Florian Royer

      MOVE ls_longtext_mast-longtext TO ls_action_item-zz_description.
This is how i get the text with format (line feeds).
zz_description is type string.
My table is on a page, wrapped in a subform. and zz_description is type text field.
Yes, i maintained "allow multiple lines" and did not limit length somehow.
The problem arises in portal, pressing the preview button of a zform. providing a string <255 characters of length, everything works fine.

How to send text file as an email attachment havin more than 255 characters

My requirement is to generate a text file and to send this text file as E-mail attachment. I am using FM 'SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_ATT_SEND_API1' to send the E-mail. but here the limitation is the number of characters per line must not be more than 255 characters whereas in my case it is exceeding 1000 characters per line. could anyone please suggest me what should i do now ? Each field in the text file has to be tab delimited.

Simplest might well be to use javamail API instead of the two tags that Sites provides, e.g. see email - Sending mail attachment using Java - Stack Overflow for a full example.

I want to display message more than 50 characters

hi experts
i want to display message more than 50 characters, and the fm 'POPUP_DISPLAY_MESSAGE' can display just 50characters, my message maybe much long, what other fm can i use?
btw, i cann't use POPUP_TO_CONFIRM to let user select, the popup screen should only have one button to let user type in.

thanks for ur reply,
but 'POPUP_TO_DISPLAY_TEXT' just has two lines(every line has character limit), my message to be displayed may be much long.
why i need the fm is that, i want to display error message when user made error operation, if i use 'message msg type 'E' ', the message display in the status bar at the left-down place and cann't display the whole message if the message is to long.
so i had like to find a fm like 'POPUP_TO_CONFIRM' which can display multipul lines and just with one button(which is the user required...).

Why can't owa_text.vc_arr handle the string with more than 4000 characters?

I am using PL_SQL with Oracle8i and OAS 4.0 web server.I want to
use owa_text.vc_arr to pass the inputs in serval text areas in the form on a web application.
If the input string length is less than 4000 characters, everything works fine.However when the strings are longer than 4000 characters but less than the max length 32767 characters, I got this error message:
OWS-05101: Execution failed due to Oracle error 2005
ORA-02005: implicit (-1) length not valid for this bind or define datatype.
In the Oracle Application Server 4.0 documment, it says
about owa_text.vc_arr :Type vc_arr is table of varchar2(32767)
index by binary_integer. It means that owa_text.vc_arr can handle multiple strings and each string can have up to 32767 single byte characters, is it right?
Owa_text.vc_arr is supposed to handle the string with more
than 4000 characters, is it true? Could anyone tell me why? Any
help will be greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks very much.

len := length(tdescription(i));
htp.p(len);
htp.p(tdescription(i));
end loop;
end;

The maximum size of a VARCHAR2 field in Oracle 8i is 4000 bytes.
you'll ned to use a LOB type (or LONG if you prefer the old way)

Requirement is to print more than 60 characters after ALV grid display

Hi Consultants,
Using 'REUSE_ALV_COMMENTARY_WRITE' , i have tried to display some text at end of page event, but ot is only displaying upto 60 characters, because SLIS is suporting oly 60 characters.
But my requirement is to print the line of text , i am getting the text through container.
suggest me the way to do.
Thanks in advance.
Madhan

There are a few possible ways ... here's one....
First of all, you cannot load more than 60 characters into a field at a time. So, if you create two info objects, one as a key and the other as text, you can load multiple lines.
For example, in Quality Notifications, there are Memo fields that can go on ... and on ... and on. What I do in these cases is add two characteristics to my data target called ZCOUNT and ZMEMO. ZCOUNT is the number of 60 character segments I will need to grab and ZMEMO is filled with each 60 character length of the memo field.
If you receive a 300 character field, then you break it up into 5 ZCOUNT's and create 4 additional, identical records with the Memo Field changed for each 60 characters of length.
It gets a bit trickier if you have multiple 60+ character lengths, however, if you know you will always have 75 characters, then it's easier to use two info objects ... 60 + 15 characters each.
Good Luck,
Brian

Helena, I think you might get a better response either from the SQL-PL/SQL forum, or perhaps the Portal Applications forum - both of these tend to have folks very familiar with PL/SQL and the OWA packages.
This forum is on Web services based on SOAP, WSDL and UDDI. These can be PL/SQL based but typically don't use the mod_psql or OWA web solution.
As a pointer, I suspect you may already be familiar with, but just in case, you can always take a look at chapter 3 of the OAS documentation, "Developer's Guide: PL/SQL and ODBC Applications" where they go through a number of examples using parameters. See:
http://technet.oracle.com/doc/appsrvr4082/guides/plsql.pdf
Hope this or folks from the other list can help.
Mike.
