Field Increase

Former Member — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 09:47:05 GMT

Hi there,

I've just updated a field on a screen which had a visable length of 67 characters on one line.

I have now changed the dictionary size of this field to 210.

My question is how to increase the visable length say over 3 lines ( i.e. three lines of 70 characters)

on the screen. I've tried expanding the box but nothing happens. I've also tried checking the scrollable

attribute but again nothing happens.

Does anybody know I this can be done.

Any help much apreciated

TO the best of my knowledge this is not possible using input field, but you can achieve this using TEXT EDIT CONTROLS

Go throught the Example program demo_custom_control

Cheers

Hi,

You can use text editor to show long text.To get sample programs search in R/3 for textedit*.One example is program SAPTEXTEDIT_DEMO_DRAGDROP

Hi Andy, <li>If you are using Normal dialog programming you can drag one field into three lines. And its impossible. Instead you can drag that field upto max visible size. But You can enter the data up to 210 chars as that field is defined to 210 char length. <li>You can create custom control and place text-editor on that. So that you can enter as much as you want to enter in that field. Thanks Venkat.O

take 3 fields of char 70,

on any action concat them to get the full string.

this is a simple option..
