Read_text's behaviour

Former Member — Wed, 05 Nov 2008 14:27:56 GMT

I have the sales order in 4.6c and ECC 6.0 and it has long text as below :

"This should only be for O#6049040888 Test Test Test "

In 4.6 C, the READ_TEXT text is reading the above text into two lines and returning as two lines as

This should only be for O#6049040888

Test Test Test

However in ECC 6.0 the READ_TEXT text is reading the above text in a single lines and returning as a single line as This should only be for O#6049040888 Test Test Test

What is the reason behind it ?

I have to explain my functional cons..

Thanks.

John,

Did you check the text in the Table level and Transaction Level or not. I suspect that might be the text is maintained in one line in table level

Thanks,

table: STXH you need to know the TDOBJECT TDNAME TDID for the text. Hope you can find it in Read test FM which you were passing before.

In table: STXH ,

I could not see any text in both 4.6c and ECC 6.0.

is there any thing else I can check.

you will find the keys in STXH, STXL will contain the actual text, but it would nto be in readable format. you can see how many lines are there in STXL for the same key in STXH

it is sales item texts. just go to your sales order in both the systrems, and compare the item texts on how theose are maintained in both the systems

Also find out the value of TDFORMAT in both texts. Is there any formatting option causing the line break?

I think in 4.6C only the old editor is available, in ECC 6.0 there is the new editor, but you can switch to the old one via the menu.

I have checked the item level texts in both 4.6c and ECC 6.0,

no difference in the texts.

and TDFORMAT I don't have in any of STXL and STXH tables ...

where to see TDFORMAT 's value ?

thank you.

Re: Read_text's behaviour

Former Member — Wed, 05 Nov 2008 15:48:34 GMT

you will get the TDFORMAT back in read text funntion call .

Re: Read_text's behaviour

Former Member — Wed, 05 Nov 2008 16:19:32 GMT

in both systems tdformat is space.

Re: Read_text's behaviour

Former Member — Wed, 05 Nov 2008 16:22:20 GMT

I think it is just the editor issue with the ECC. By default the Text come in free form text editor in ECC. while on earlier releases it was a line editor. So if yoru users want the separaste lines, they may have to switch to Line editor in ECC

Re: Read_text's behaviour

Former Member — Wed, 05 Nov 2008 16:28:58 GMT

May I know please how to shift to line editor in ECC 6.0 ?

Re: Read_text's behaviour

Former Member — Wed, 05 Nov 2008 20:15:03 GMT

I have debugged READ_TEXT and it is code difference in two systems.

Main Program SAPLSTXD

Source code of LSTXDFDB

4.6 c

import tline to rt_lines

from database stxl(tx)

client rt_client

id stxl_id..

ECC 6.0

import tline to rt_lines

from database stxl(tx)

client rt_client

id stxl_id

ACCEPTING TRUNCATION

IGNORING CONVERSION ERRORS.

Thanks - now is there any oss note is there for this ?

I think I saw a way to change that some time back, but now I cant find that. You can try opening an SAP OSS message too to see what they say

Hey Do you have any updates on this please!

In my system, my Text is getting splitted into many lines even though I have the text entered in the system(SD or CRM Text) in 1 Line.

READ_TEXT is not displaying text in not more than 72 chars in length for each line! I want to display the text in same number of lines using the READ_TEXT as entered by the users in the backend.
