Hi Abapers,

I have a ztable. and I am developing an application to fill the values in this Ztable. but client requires that one field in application should much enough, so that to store the character value of near about 500 characters in this field. As per my application that one long input text field is not seems good and also ther is limitation of field that it can stores only 255 characters. So how it possible ? what should I do ? Plz help me out.

Thanks in advance

give the type as LRAW , you can give upto 32000 chars.

Use Predefined Type: LCHR

It has length 1000 characters.

hope this helps

Hi adams

You can take 2 fields with 255 character length and then combile them in a field using concatenate statement and then pass that field in table

1. Use long text

2. Store 2 fields in tables (first 255 characters in field1 & second 255 in field2). Manipulate accordingly while displaying.
