Hi
You need to create a table have a filed longer than 512 char, so you should use a field with a domain with type LRAW or LCHR (it can be longer than 512 char):
see the data element PC03_DSATZ for example.
When you create your table, before this field you have to insert a field type INT4 where you'll indicate the lenght of your text.
So your table should be:
MANDT key
NAME (Text Name) key
ZLENG (Type INT4)
TEXT (type LCHR)
Max

In DeskI, what's the maximum for "Limit size of long text objects"? 2000?

In Universe Designer, we have a setting which is "Limit size of long text objects", it can control how many characters can be displayed for long text objects.
The problem is that in DeskI, we can only display 2000 characters even we set 2500 or more in Universe Designer by "Limit size of long text objects". But if we use the same Universe & same Database, WebI can show 2500 or more characters for long text objects.
So does it mean in DeskI the maximum value for "Limit size of long text objects" is 2000?

Hi Jason,
Check that the object in the universe is set to data type "long text".
Also check that the object itself is not limiting the length of the string, as well as that the entire string is actually in the database... the data type here could also be the issue.
Hope this helps

Storing long text in database table

If the length of the text which is very long is not fixed, how can we store it in a database table?

From which table i can get the long text

Hi All
I have created some long text through function module CREATE_TEXT And i am able to see the text in the transaction .
My requirement is from which table i can get these stored long text???
Any suggestions please.
Thanks

Appreciate your answers.
I have checked the both the fields stxh as well as stxl but i am not able to find any text fields out there.
My actual requirement is some third party software needs to b mapped the table fields in order to import it.
So if i know the table fields that would be easier.
Can you tell me y we can not read it from the tables?
Thanks,

Hi,
Go to tcode SE11 check table STXH whether the text stored in it. If yes, then see the layout of field TDNAME.

Difference betwen short text and long text

Hi,
what is the difference between short text, long text and variant.

Hi,
Short text is the short description you give for an object or field simlarly long text is the long description for a object or field.
Short text cannot have lenght more than 20 and long text more than 60.
Variant means for example if you give certain values as an input in one of your transaction for testing and you want the same values to be used every time you test in that particular screen, then instead of inputting the values again n again you call the variant.
Hope this helps

Long text in a message

hello All,
I created a new message in the message class ME. I also created a long text for that particular message. But when i use the message in a program long text is not dispalayed properly. Pls give some inputs.
Thnaks
Durai

The long texts of a document are stored in a encrypted format in the STXH and STXL tables, where STXH stores the header information of the long text like TDOBJECT, which indicates which text object the long text belongs to, TDID which indicates the Text ID and TDNAME which is the actual name of the long text.
As these texts are stored in a encrypted format, the text cannot be read using a SELECT statement. You will have to use the function READ_TEXT. The easiest way of getting to know the parameter values is to go to a document, open the long text in a full screen mode. For example, when you wan to see the long text for a Purchase order, go to transaction ME23n. Assume, you want to see the parameters for the Header Text. In the first Tab Strip Control, click on the Texts tab and select the Header Text node on the left hand side, which will display the text on the right hand side. Now, double click on the text editor on the right hand side. This will open the text in the full screen mode. In the menu Go To --> Header, you should be able to see the values for all the three parameters we discussed above. We will have to do the same thing for whichever text parameters we want to see.
CALL FUNCTION 'READ_TEXT'
EXPORTING

Hi Krishna,
Please use the object_type parameter of tthe FM as 'HTM'.
Then divide the text by append them into the lines of the object_content. In the begining and end make sure you have
 -- in the begining
-- in the end
if i want to type the text in one para " My name is Imran and i am an ABAP developer".
CLEAR: WA_OBJECT_CONTENT.
WA_OBJECT_CONTENT-line = '<html>'<body> My name is Imran.
APPEND WA_OBJECT_CONTENT TO T_OBJECT_CONTENT.
CLEAR WA_OBJECT_CONTENT.
WA_OBJECT_CONTENT-line = ' and i am an ABAP developer</body><html;>'.
APPEND WA_OBJECT_CONTENT TO T_OBJECT_CONTENT.
Hope this helps you.
Regards
Imran.

Long Text box in Selection Screen

Hi,
How to create a long text box in the selection screen.
Is there any example/demo program in standard??
Regards
Jiku.

erm, what do you want to achieve with this?
should your users be able to search for long texts?
That will probably fail since there are differences between the input and the long text you are searching for.
Or do you have users making no faults?
