SAVE_TEXT to implement long text for Material, BOM, documents etc...

Question

Hello,
we are working on a process to download longtexts from one system and to upload into another system to add missing long text there for different objects.
We are using SAVE_TEXT and it is working fine for documents in DRAW/DRAT.
Here we got what we expected. Long texts are uploaded and can be edited in the
transaction CV02N.
But then we started with material and with BOMs (bill of material).
Result of upload:
STXH is filled with entries but in MM02 and CS02 we cannot see the added long texts.
Seems that the connection between material and bom and their texts is missing.
For BOM we are not totally wrong. If there is a longtext in the BOM we can add longtext (we READ_TEXT the existing longtext and add our text. Then we do a update) and can see the added longtext in CSxx transactions.
But if there is only a short text, our insert via SAVE_TEXT is not working.
Is there something we are doing wrong or don´t we understand something?
Any help is appreciated.
Best regard
Dirk

Answer 1

Hello Naren,
oh, this answer was bringing light into my confusion.
My problem is that there will be some import files with any long text for any object in R/3 like
material with x textids , bom, equipment etc...
Is there any chance to find out easily which text object combination with textid belongs to a specific long text. The TTXID table is only a listing w/o any explanantion???????
Update longtext in BOM header -> set STZU-LTXSP
Update longtext alternative in BOM header -> set STKO-LTXSP
Update longtext in BOM position  -> set STPO-LTXSP
And what is the text ID DPO for?
My other problem now is with Material long text import.
I checked the SDN threats but could not find the answer.
This is my abap that is not running for material.
I can see the long text entries from READ_TEXT, but not in STXH and STXL.
zs_textline_c [ ]  = zs_textline_b [ ] .
CALL FUNCTION 'INIT_TEXT'
    EXPORTING
      id            = wa_header-tdid
      language = wa_header-tdspras
      name      = wa_header-tdname
      object     = wa_header-tdobject
    IMPORTING
      header   = wa_header_b
    TABLES
      lines    = zs_textline_c
    EXCEPTIONS
      id       = 1
      language = 2
      name     = 3
      object   = 4
      OTHERS   = 5.
  IF sy-subrc <> 0.
  ENDIF.
  CALL FUNCTION 'SAVE_TEXT'
        EXPORTING
          client                = sy-mandt
          header                = wa_header_b
          insert                = 'X'
          savemode_direct       = 'X'
                 owner_specified       = 'X'
          local_cat             = ' '
        IMPORTING
          function              = l_result
        NEWHEADER             =
        TABLES
          lines                 = zs_textline_b
        EXCEPTIONS
          id                    = 1
          language         = 2
          name              = 3
          object             = 4
          OTHERS        = 5
  IF sy-subrc <> 0.
  ENDIF.
  CALL FUNCTION 'COMMIT_TEXT'.
  COMMIT WORK.
Your help is welcome!
Best regards
Dirk
