hi...

i dont remember exactly but maximum static length for a message is 72 or 74.

you cannot give length more than that.

but you can make use of place holder '&' if it is there in the message definition.

& you can find it in some standard message classes which you can provide value using variables and even text elements

Hi ,

A single text element in the message class can display 60 characters.

you have to declare two text elements while declaring the message as suggested above.

Thanx,

Pritha.

Hi,

As well as the suggestions so far you could rephrase the message to fit the the length limit and put the longer message in the long text.

E.g.

System error due to strange things happening with the lock object and other such things

Becomes;

System error (See long text)

Nick

if you want message to be in message class and text more than 60 chars not possible .

for pop_up also max 60 chars only .

only option is using diff text elements .

Hi Nick,

thanks for you reply and can elaborate more on long text like how to use and write message in long text as i have never done this before

Re: message length

Former Member — Fri, 20 Feb 2009 10:07:56 GMT

this would be a alternative solution.

use CONCATENATE statement

Concatenate text1 text2 into text.

MESSAGE <t><num> WITH text.

Hi,

To create a long text you need to un-check the column headed 'Self-explanatory' then press the Long Text button. This will give you a full screen text editor to enter text under four different headings. If you need to added variables to the long text choose Edit -> Command -> Insert Command and enter symbol &V1&, &V2& etc

Nick

Hi,

The solution is this. A SAP message is made up of two parts, the short text (which is limited length, and is displayed when the message is raised) and the long text (which is optional, but has no limit in size).

The short text should hold a brief summary of the error, and the long text should explain how the problem occured and what action should be taken. After the message is displayed to the user when they double-click on it the long text is displayed in a pop-up window.

Take a look at a message like MEPO 005, this has both short text and long text.

Regards,

Nick

In message long texts use &v1&, &v2&, &v3&, and &v4& for their corresponding variable.
