Using CATT to update Long Text in Info Records

I am in a 4.7 environment, and trying to use CATT to update Purchasing Info Records (PIR) to include Long Text. Does anyone know how I can get the script to work with long text that changes for each PIR? I have tried several times, but can only get it to work with a single text entry. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cathy

Hello Cathy,
I use tcode OMQ3 to transfer texts. It took me awhile to figure out the easiest way to use and find it very simple now. Read the program documentation on how to use.
Hope this helps.
Cheers !

About updating long text in the document item with bdc of fb02

HI,
I have a question about updating long text in the document item of sap:
Can I directly updating the long text information with the fuction save_text?
The long text is in :
tcode: fb02 -->input document no ... --> Document overview --> select one document
long text --> updating the value.
Becaust I want to update some items in a G/L Account with bdc or other technique, but I found I can't choose the items in the G/L Account with bdc automatically .That means I can't get the selected items and update them.So I try to update them with the function save_text directly (I know the doc no，bukrs,fiscal year ,item no which will decide the long text item).
Who can help me ?Or is there any way to solve the problem? Thanks very much.

Yes, you can update directly using SAVE_TEXT.
Check this for the same.

Using variables in message long text ( SE91)

Hi everyone,
Does anyone know how we insert the variables passed in the message can also be used to be printed in the long text as well.
Suppose , say
message e000 with a b c d.
where a ,b , c and d are the variables...
How do i use these inside the long text.

message e000 with 'text' '&variable&'.
To create a message long text in SE91:
Select to switch to change mode.
Place the cursor on the corresponding message.
Click the Long text pushbutton.
This starts the SAPscript editor.
Enter the long text.
Carry out a check in SAPscript editor.
Save your data.
eg: create a msg like this.
Please enter another value. The value may be &.
then in pgm do this.
MESSAGE i014(msg_class_name) WITH variable_value.

Reading long text for more records at a time

Hi all,
We have a requirement for which that data like textid textname textobject and language must be taken in to an internal table and for each record in the internal table i have to read the long text inorder to compare the long text for the given search text.
If i use Read_text inside the loop and endloop it works but it may not be appropriate in performance point of view.
Is there any function module which can read long texts for more records at a time.
The long text data in STXL will be in raw data format right? is there any way to convert raw data to normal so that by hitting the STXL i can read the long text data for more than one record at a time.
Thanks in advance
sanju.

HI Sanju,
Below is a code snippet which describes reading a long text frm the screen and appending it into the internal table.This code is actually to read the text from the screen and inserting a record into STXl and STXH.
From your query what i understood is that you are storing the long text from the screen into a internal table and so you not want to use the read_text FM due to performance issue.
Since tdline(tline table) is 132 char long format i use this small logic to read the screen data and append it to my internal table.
*Data Declarations
DATA: lv_strlen TYPE i,
        lv_create TYPE boolean,
        lv_desc TYPE string.
DATA: ls_text TYPE tline,
        ls_basic_text TYPE stxh.
DATA: lt_text TYPE ztty_tline_tab.
CONSTANTS:
   lc_tdid TYPE thead-tdid VALUE 'Z001',
   lc_tdobject TYPE thead-tdobject VALUE 'Z_ALERTS'.
*Appending the text to the internal table.
lv_strlen = STRLEN( iv_alert_text-alert_text ).
lv_desc = iv_alert_text-alert_text.
IF lv_strlen < 132.
    ls_text-tdformat = '*'.
    ls_text-tdline = lv_desc.
    APPEND ls_text TO lt_text.
ELSE.
*logic to wrap text
    DO.
      ls_text-tdformat = '*'.
      IF STRLEN( lv_desc ) < 132.
        ls_text-tdformat = '*'.
        ls_text-tdline = lv_desc.
        APPEND ls_text TO lt_text.
        EXIT.
      ENDIF.
      IF lv_desc+132(1) <> ' '.
        CONCATENATE lv_desc(131) '-' INTO ls_text-tdline.
        lv_desc = lv_desc+131.
      ELSE.
        ls_text-tdformat = '*'.
        ls_text-tdline = lv_desc(132).
        lv_desc = lv_desc+132.
      ENDIF.
      APPEND ls_text TO lt_text.
    ENDDO.
ENDIF.

Update Long Text of Production Order

Hi ABAP Gurus,
We want to update some information in long text automatically while releasing production order.
We try PPCO0007
We found that we must update AUFK-LTEXT as 'E' then we can see long text via CO02, CO03.
Without updating AUFK-LTEXT, even if the long text value saved in SXTL, but it can not be displayed via CO02, CO03.
After saving the text using 'SAVE_TEXT' function module and commiting it we update the 'ltext' field in AUFK table.
SELECT SINGLE * INTO wa_aufk FROM aufk WHERE aufnr EQ '000012345678'.
wa_aufk-ltext = 'D'.
MODIFY aufk FROM wa_aufk.
However, it only works when we go to CO02 and press 'Save' button without changing anything.
If we press 'release' button, AUFK-LTEXT will be overwritten by system. >_<
What we expect system to do is that when we release production order, AUFK-LTEXT can be changed to 'E', so that we can display long text via CO02, CO03.
Please help.
Cheers,
Qiang

There is no standard SAP enhancement we can use for this purpose.
We have developed another program to maintian the long text in production order.
This call can be closed.

long text table
data: longtext like table of bapi2080_notfulltxti with header line.

Any help appreciated.

Hi Neil,
Thanks for the update. The issue has been resolved.
The BAPI- 'BAPI_SERVNOT_ADD_DATA'   cannot be used to update the item long text. (activities long text ) . The length of the object key is only 8 characters.
I used the following function module('IQS0_ADD_ACTIVITY_LONGTEXT') to update the item>>activties>> long text after the BAPI call to 'BAPI_SERVNOT_ADD_DATA' .
data: v_line like table of tline with header line.
call function 'IQS0_ADD_ACTIVITY_LONGTEXT'
             exporting
               i_qmnum             = wa_qmnum
               i_manum             = wa_item_no
               i_post              = 'X'
                I_RESET             =
             tables
               t_inlines           = v_line
              EXCEPTIONS
                SHOW_MESSAGES       = 1
                OTHERS              = 2
The call to 'BAPI_SERVNOT_ADD_DATA' took care of all changes to the Notification except the update of the item>> long text. After committing this transaction, I did a BAP call to 'IQS0_ADD_ACTIVITY_LONGTEXT' to update the item>>actvities>>long text.. This has been working fine and is currently in productin.
Appreciate all your feedback .
Thanks
Mala

MM02: Problem in updating Long Text

Hi All,
My requirement is to do MM02 Conversion. I have to Update 14 fields in the transaction.I got a Problem with my LONG TEXT Field.
Requirement for updating is whenever a double quotes comes in the place of LONG TEXT in the input file, i have to empty the LONG TEXT in the transaction.
For modifying the already existing Long Text, its working perfectly. But problem is arising only when i want to empty the LONG TEXT field.
What i did was,    IF zbasic-matnr_long_text = ' "" '.
                           bmmh7-tdline = ' '.
Also i have passed Text ID, Text Langauge.
So please Help me with this Problem

Hi Sathish,
If i use Fm Delete_Text, as soon as it encounters the FM it will delete the LONG Text.
Since Im using LSMW, everything should happen after i run the step 'Start Direct Input Program'.
Please just consider, suppose there is a Transaction Error in my LSMW. So according to this situation no transaction should happen i mean LONG TEXT should not get deleted.
But Since it has enountered the FM, Long text must get deleted.
Please correct me if anything is wrong in my Logic.
Also tell me what i should do if my Logic is correct.

Using lsmw to update FI text

does anyone have any idea how should i update my FI text that is 'we' or 're' document type using LSMW for posting date 01.02.2009 to 10.05.2009?

Hi,
Use LSMW and the following object for Long texts
Object               0001   Long texts
Method               0001   (No selection)
Program Name         /SAPDMC/SAP_LSMW_IMPORT_TEXTS
Program Type         D   Direct Input:
The above DI program would load the texts...
Example: if the Documnet number is 5000057140, Doc Type: WE, Fiscal year 2009, with company code 1234
Text Name is a contatenated string of Company code, document number & Fiscal year - example: 123450000571402009
Language: EN (the language with which Long text is to be created...)
Text ID: 0001(Correspondence),0002 (Note), 0003 (Payment advice information)
Text Object: BELEG (Document text)
Hope this helps.
