Reporting on Blocks of Long Text - Netweaver 7.0

Hi all,
I have read the forums and especially Eugene Khusainov's blogs on modelling and reporting long texts (> 60 chars) in BW - however this all seems to apply to version 3.5. Does anyone know whether the situation for loading long texts has improved in netweaver V7.0? Or is it still necessary to create multiple attributes of 60 chars each?
If so, is there a limit on how many of these can be created? Or is this indefinite? I suspect my requirements could stretch to many hundreds of characters as a block of text to be reported.
Are there also performance and best practise implications in keeping huge blocks of text in BI? presumably the long text limit was set at 60 chars for a good reason ie that it is not good practise to fill up BI with strings of text..?
Thanks all for your help
Mischa

Thanks for your answer.
However I've realised that Eugene's solution will probably not help me. My requirement is to actually report on blocks of text - for example, the users want a transcript of a call centre call within a report.
Eugene's example will work for a description (ie a long text attached to a characteristic) but my requirement is not a text description in the 'traditional' sense - the 'block of text' needs to be reported on as if it is a separate characteristic within the cube. At the moment the only solution I can see, is to create multiple characteristics of 60chars each, and actually load these blocks of text into the cube.
This sounds like a horrendous solution - first of all the blocks of text can run into many hundreds of characters. Secondly, surely the performance WILL be terrible if the cube has to hold rows and rows of free text?
Please advise. If this solution is really not feasible in BI, then I will have to tell the business that it cannot be done.
I notice that it is possible to upload free text into a web template. Is this a better solution?
Thanks again
Mischa

Bex report on Multi Provider Long Text issue

Hi All,
I have a report that running on a multiprovider and I have a field that I use as a selection parameter. I changed the settings for this field's info object settings to "long text" to see long description in the pop up search window. However setting change worked for all the other reports that are running on cubes and DSO s but I still see short description when I run the multiprovider report.
Is there any settings need to be changed for multiproviders to see long desc. ?
I apprciate any help with points
Regards

Hi,
Open your query, and select your infoobject and change the display properties-> text view as-> Medium-Length text

Report CATS_DA, long text

Hi.
If I run report CATS_DA and someone have filled in something in the long text, there is a little pen and paper there.
If I then would like to save this to an excel sheet, the long text will not follow. I can understand why, because there can be a very very long text.
But if I would like to write my own report to get this long text out of the system, from which table, cluster or what ever, can I find the text.
I found table STXL but it only point to a cluster line.
Anyone having any idea?
Thanks // Peter B

Do obtain text from table STXL you can use FM: READ_TEXT.
Get the entry from STXL that you are requiring and get the text using this FM.
thanks.

FI documents long text display reports

Hi experts,
Is there any report which can display long text of FI documents as list?
Best regards,
S MK

Hi,
Actually the field I am looking for is not SGTXT. The field is shown via button in line item display if you click "Long text" button located next to text.
Then, pop-up for "Long Text for Document Line Item" is shown and the target text can be seen from the right button "Long overview". (This text is edited via Microsoft Word)
I want this whole long text in the report if available, or as query. Is it possible?
Best regards,
S MK

Modifying the lengh of a long text field- Crystal Report version 2011

Hello,
I'm having a problem with the long text field in my crystal report.
I'll desribe the problem:
We work with BW version 7.4 sp 5.
I created a BEX Report with an infobject of type Long Text (Long Text is XL).
I know the length of this field is 1,333 char.
When I run the Bex Report the field is displayed correctly (long text).
I then created a Crystal Report 2011 version 14.0.6.1036 RTM based on my BEX Query.
The problem is that the Crystal report brought this database long text field as a
String[70]. Thus I get only the first 70 characters of the field.
Can we modify the settings of the field to enlarge it to be 1,333 characters in
length?
Thank you,
Ayelet

Hi Jothi,
Short Text and Long Text are associated objects of a Characteristic from a BEx query.
The 'Short Text' will not turn to 'Long Text' by setting the 'Can Grow' option.
In Fact, both are completely different objects.

Locking / grey out long text data in transaction IW32

Hi, I read in Locking/grey out long text data (From Coding point of view ) that there is a way to block the long text description via configuration.
Well. Could you tell me how to do this, please???
Thanks a lot!

I set a breakpoint there and the program never stop there.
I'll try to describe my problem.
I go to IW32 transaction, at the components tab I click on the Long Text button of each component of the order and I can modify it. Well, the client doesn't want that.For a type of order, the user cannot modify that text.
The more strange thing is that I tried to get the text with READ_TEXT function with the same parameters as the standard and it tells me that the text doesn't exists.
I'm starting to hate this module....

How to get Long text in report from FBL3N

Hi,
I need to get Long Text from FBL3N (G/L Account Line Item Display) in my report.Can anyone tell me in which table it is stored?

Hi
These long texts are not stored completely in any tables
where as the parameters of these texts like OBJECT,OBJECTNAME and ID, LANGUAGE are stored in STXH table
You have to pass these 4 parameters to the fun module READ_TEXT and to fetch the text.
Double click on the long text will goes to text editor
from menu GOTO-> HEADER you will see the above 4 paramters
see the doc of READ_TEXT fun module
READ_TEXT
READ_TEXT provides a text for the application program in the specified work areas.
The function module reads the desired text from the text file, the text memory, or the archive. You must fully specify the text using OBJECT, NAME, ID, and LANGUAGE. An internal work area can hold only one text; therefore, generic specifications are not allowed with these options.
After successful reading, the system places header information and text lines into the work areas specified with HEADER and LINES.
If a reference text is used, SAPscript automatically processes the reference chain and provides the text lines found in the text at the end of the chain. If an error occurs, the system leaves the function module and triggers the exception REFERENCE_CHECK.
Function call:
CALL FUNCTION 'READ_TEXT'
EXPORTING CLIENT = SY-MANDT
OBJECT = ?...
NAME = ?...
ID = ?...
LANGUAGE = ?...
ARCHIVE_HANDLE = 0
IMPORTING HEADER =
TABLES LINES = ?...
EXCEPTIONS ID =
LANGUAGE =
NAME =
NOT_FOUND =
OBJECT =
REFERENCE_CHECK =
WRONG_ACCESS_TO_ARCHIVE =
Export parameters:
CLIENT
Specify the client under which the text is stored. If you omit this parameter, the system uses the current client as default.
Reference field: SY-MANDT
Default value: SY-MANDT
OBJECT
Enter the name of the text object to which the text is allocated. Table TTXOB contains the valid objects.
Reference field: THEAD-TDOBJECT
NAME
Enter the name of the text module. The name may be up to 70 characters long. Its internal structure depends on the text object used.
Reference field: THEAD-TDNAME
ID
Enter the text ID of the text module. Table TTXID contains the valid text IDs, depending on the text object.
Reference field: THEAD-TDID
LANGUAGE
Enter the language key of the text module. The system accepts only languages that are defined in table T002.
Reference field: THEAD-TDSPRAS
ARCHIVE_HANDLE
If you want to read the text from the archive, you must enter a handle here. The system uses it to access the archive. You can create the handle using the function module ACHIVE_OPEN_FOR_READ.
The value '0' indicates that you do not want to read the text from the archive.
Reference field: SY-TABIX
Default value: 0
Import parameters:
HEADER
If the system finds the desired text, it returns the text header in this parameter.
Structure: THEAD
Table parameters:
LINES
The table contains all text lines that belong to the text read.
Structure: TLINE
Exceptions:
ID
The text ID specified in the parameter ID does not exist in table TTXID. It must be defined there together with the object of the text module.
LANGUAGE
The parameter LANGUAGE contains a language key that does not exist in table T002.
NAME
The parameter NAME contains the name of a text module that does not correspond to the SAPscript conventions.
Possible errors:
The field contains only blanks.
The field contains the invalid characters * or ,.
OBJECT
The parameter OBJECT contains the name of a text object that does not exist in table TTXOB.
NOT_FOUND
The system did not find the specified text module.
REFERENCE_CHECK
The text module to be read has no text lines of its own but refers to the lines of another text module. This reference chain can include several levels. For the current text, the chain is interrupted, that is, one of the text modules referred to in the chain no longer exists.
WRONG_ACCESS_ TO_ARCHIVE
The exception WRONG_ACCESS_TO_ARCHIVE is triggered if an archive is accessed using an incorrect or non-existing archive handle or an incorrect mode (that is, read if the archive is open for writing or vice versa).

Error when generating the report (see long text), Message no. AQ_AD_HOC221

Hi All,
I am facing a peculiar problem while executing an infoset query.I have created 2 customized fields Compa-ratio and PIR in infotype 0008 in an infoset.I have coded in these additional fields.
When I execute a query using 1 of these customized fields the report is generated correctly.But when I put both the fields in the output the report shows an error "Error when generating the report (see long text)". The message# associated with this errAQ_AD_HOC221.
I have also checked the data types and the references. Nothing seems to be wrong here.
Does anybody has any clue about this ?
Kajal

Hi Bernd,
I had a look at those notes. But the information provided did'nt prove to be helpful. I found out the problem. I was using the same local variable for both the fields in their code. This generated the error. This error is a very generic one and does'nt help in finding out what exactly is the problem.
I changed the other local variable and it started working. When I was using the same variable that time I did'nt forget to clear the values but the query still generated the error.
Anyways thanks a lot for the reply.

Loaded data is not yet visible in Reporting (see long text) Message no. RSM

Hi All,
I have one issue in BI part of Solman. For one of the scenario of Solution Manager uses its own BI component (BI_CONT 7.03 SP08 SAP_BW 700 SP15).
There is one background job which has to update the data in one of the infocube 0SMD_PE2D. This job is getting failed for the past 2 months.
When i check the logs of that background job, it shows the long text as below.
Loaded data is not yet visible in Reporting (see long text)
Message no. RSM1130
Diagnosis
There is an inconsistency between the load status of the data and the option of reporting on this data.
There is data in the InfoProvider that is OK from a quality point of view, but is not yet displayed in reporting.
The problem, for example, is to do with request 0000000494, number APO_R4CEHVODV7XS7MRL741GSMV9UB.
Procedure
Choose Refresh to remove the inconsistency.
I went to RSA1 and selected that cube and choose "Execution changes - Manage". On the right hand side under request tab page it shows all the requests with request status as Green. In Monitor there is No Data Available
I found a similar thread [Loaded data is not yet visible in Reporting for Data Mart destination cub; unfortunately solution is not updated.
Could any one help me

Long Text Missing In COA(Certificate of Analysis) Report

Hi Friends,
We have a case where Long text entered in the results recording is missing in the COA Report for only certain Batches .
For same MICs and COA Profile,the Long text is displayed correctly in the report for the different batches.
I have investigated this and text element been used in the MIC is 0024 Code short text with results long text.
We have checked the COA Profile for this MIC and material has been assigned ,so profile find to be correct.
The SAP form used for COA Print is a standard and MIC is of Qualitative.
Could you please help on this .
Thank you.
Regards
Siddartha

No idea really but look at this:
Any chance the user was logged in with a differnt language when they created the long text? If they logged in as ES for instance, the long text might be stored as ES. But the COA is bring printed in EN so the ES long text is not found.
Do you see an entry in table STXH for the long text for the batches that don't display it? (Text ID is QMEP).
I'd compare the entries in STXH for a long text that prints and one that doesn't and see if you notice any differences.

Long Text in Crystal Report for Enterprise 4.0

Hello,
I am creating a report using SAP Crystal Report for Enterprise 4.0 (Version 14.0.2) and the source of data is BEx query via OLAP connection created using IDT. I am using SAP BusinessObjects BI platform 4.0.
The Characteristic (which is hierarchy) in the Rows section of the BEx Query is set to display long text and as such, it displays long text when the query is executed in the BEx Analyzer. However, when it comes to Crystal Report, the short text is displayed in the report.
The Characteristic is 'Item' (0CS_ITEM) and upon going to SAP BW > RSA1 > Modeling > InfoObjects > Item (0CS_ITEM) > Right Click > Display > Business Explorer (tab) > Text Type is set to 'Long Text' and BEx description is set to 'Long description' already.
Can I display long text in the Crystal Report? How?
Thanks,

Hi Jothi,
Short Text and Long Text are associated objects of a Characteristic from a BEx query.
The 'Short Text' will not turn to 'Long Text' by setting the 'Can Grow' option.
In Fact, both are completely different objects.
