defining variable with length in SCRIPT

Former Member — Fri, 23 Jan 2009 08:28:54 GMT

Hi,

I have a requirement in which i have to get some text from the driver program to the script.

i am doing this by using PERFORM, but when i pass this text to the variable in script, i am getting only some part of the text not total, i.e, the text is getting truncated.

i think the variable in script is not holding that many characters, can we define a variable in script with the length.

or can some one tell the various extensions of DEFINE statement in SCRIPT.

Hello,

Try to increase your window size.

I think whole text is coming , but there will be no enough space to display.

From Saphelp: "The value assigned can have a maximal length of 60 characters."

This means, if you need longer text, than you have to define several text variables in the Script and fill accordingly with data in the PERFORM.

Hi,

It can hold Max 60 CHAR.....if its more than that then it will get truncated.
