MESSAGE to Select Screen : length

former_member183909 — Thu, 09 Jun 2011 03:57:07 GMT

I have a selection screen for a report in 46C.

When I do a MESSAGE the message text is truncated ...seems to only allow 55 characters

Is there a limit to the size of a message text area ?

Hi ,

All the messages are stored in T100 table under TEXT field. The size of it is 73 Char.

Hi,

I think you are used I. if I means it will take only 55 char .

so, what we need to do is split the char and give in the messsge.

Hi,

You can put your message in two Text element and use it in code as below,

MESSAGE S001 with TEXT-001 TEXT-002.

Hope this would solve your problem.

Hi,

Yes it is having size 55 char only. so for this case we can write our custom message with hard coding as well.

Example:

message i000(z00) with 'Message'.

I like to use messages like GR016 which has four ampersand place holders....

One can then do:

message e016(gr) with
  'this is text part 1'
  'this is text part 2'
 'this is text part 3.

etc., to get longer message displays.
