Regarding Long text

Former Member — Thu, 24 Jul 2008 04:45:13 GMT

Hi All,

I have a requirement in AC03 transaction to upload data.

I am using BAPI_SERVICE_CREATE to upload data and i can achieve that.

My problem is that there is a field in the TCODE for longtext so i want to upload longtext also for that using this BAPI, what i can see is that in the BAPI the length of the line is given 132 character, and my file have much more than that to load , but it takes upto 132 and stores the data.

Now i want to load more that 132 characters from the BAPI , how can i achieve this.

Regards,

Mona

Hi,

I think we can use other BAPI FM to read the Longtext from that BAPI.

Try using these -

BAPI_CHARACT_GETLONGTEXT - BAPI for Characteristics: Read Long Text for Characteristic or Value

We can find other BAPI in SE37 - longtext as search string

Thanks & Regards,

Hi,

if you want to add text which is gretaer than 132 charcters, then ypu need to change the ref type to STRING in the BAPI, and as the bapi is the standrd type, cretae a copy of the standrd bapi and just handle the code with type string.

Revert back if any issues,

Hi Naveen,

Thanks for your reply.

I can create the Zstructure of the bapi . But bapi in - turn uses other standard FM to create notifications .And longtext is passed as one of the parameter to these FM. For eg: Bapi calls the FM :

call function 'IWON_NOTIFICATION_CREATE'

exporting

tables

longtexts = longtexts

So will i have to create Z FM as well. ? Will i have to create Z objects wherever longtext is passed or used.?

Is there any other way to enhance .

Thanks
