Internal orders - Long Text

Former Member — Tue, 23 Nov 2010 15:18:32 GMT

Hi guys,

I've created a report to import long text of internal order from flat file.

I'm using two standard FM: INIT_TEXT and SAVE_TEXT .

After report execution i control the internal order from transaction KO03 but li can't see the long text.

Instead if i control the same order with transaction KO02 i can see the description.

Can anyone help me?

Thanks in advance

Hi all,

looking on AUSK table i notice that if LTEXT field is set to 'X' then KO03 shows long text otherwise i can see the long text only by KO02.

Can anyone confirm that?

I can't have a look in our ECC system, but i can confirm that this is possible. When uploading long texts for notification i encountered the same thing.

Only after manually entering and saving the long text in the notification, i could see the text (and the long text indicator was set).

SAP uses LTEXT indicators ON/OFF (X, space) to indicate whether long texts exists. So, if you create and save programatically, without setting the LTEXT ON, SAP doesn't retrieve the assocaited long text. Routinely modify LTEXT indicators to ON (X) in appropriate table when you create and save long text outside of the standard SAP transaction.
