hi nirmal..

what you can do is take 4-5(or according to your requirement) text fields with full lengths in the screen. take a bunch of variables for them. say txt1, txt2,txt3.... and keep updating them in the program as one variable as a group.

it will work. i had similar requirement and had used three text fields one under the other.

Regards,

Sumit Nene.

Hi Nirmal,

Use STRING type for your screen field and for your table field. You cannot use TABLES for declaring your table in your program. Also you cannot use the statement LOOP AT ITAB WITH CONTROL in screen's PBO and PAI. But you can use the variant LOOP WITH CONTROL.

Thanks,

Renjith

Hi Nirmal

It can be done in this way.

Create one Input text field will some lenght for header text.

now add code in PAI for double clicking on the field or add push button in front of it.

The button will be used to trigger PAI.

in PAI have your own logic to assign text ID, OBJECT and NAME. Call FM CREATE_TEXT assigning these values along with language. The module will call another screen where you can enter long text as you enter while creating Standard texts etc.

Hai ,

here you have to use custom control, for this

DATA: line(256) TYPE c,

text_tab LIKE STANDARD TABLE OF line,

field LIKE line.

1) Create custom control in your screen

2) CREATE OBJECT: container EXPORTING container_name = 'TEXTEDIT', "--> (this is custom control name in screen)

editor EXPORTING parent = container.

3) CALL METHOD editor->get_text_as_stream "This method reads data from custom control , inserts into itab 'text_tab'

IMPORTING

text = text_tab. "

READ TABLE text_tab INTO line INDEX 1. read the text into wa 'line'

if you want more clarity , see 'ABAPDOCU' ~~>ABAP USER DIALOGS~~> COMPLEXSCREEN ELEMENTS--> DEMO CUSTOM_CONTROL
