Script text getting truncated

Former Member — Wed, 25 Jul 2012 09:45:47 GMT

Dear All,

Variable value in script is getting truncated at 80 characters even though the length of field is 100 characters and window has enough space to accomodate it

Please find my code below and suggest me. I want to print more than 80 characters.(max 100 Chars)

L_add(100) Type c.

Form form1 tables P_input structure itcsy

p_output structure itcsy.

Move l_add to P_output table-value.

Endform.

As a quick search in SCN revealed and as you are able to see by double-clicking on the structure ITCSY:

Note that the system passes the values as character string to the subroutine, since the field Feld

VALUE in structure ITCSY has the domain TDSYMVALUE (CHAR 80).

So you may try CHANGIN two variables, i.a. &L_ADD_1& and &L_ADD_2& and output them as &L_ADD_1&&L_ADD_2&.

In the subroutine value for L_ADD_1 is L_ADD_1, for L_ADD_2 is L_ADD_1+80.

Thanks for ur reply. But domain TDSYMVALUE has length 255 and not 80. Can you please let me know where you have seen 80.

Hi Kiran and Maheshkumar and and to whom it might be good to know:

In SAP standard INCLUDE RSTXDAT2 line 9 you can find the definition

c_ts_maxval type i value 80, " max text symbol value

This is used in a table that is used for symbol value transfer for external sapscript commands

begin of itcvl occurs 0,
   name(c_ts_len),
   active(1),
   val(c_ts_maxval),
   len like integer,
end of itcvl.

I would'n try to modify SAP standard and SAP will do the hell to touch SAPSCRIPT code.

But why not put your long value into more than one text symbol and output them together like

&longval1&&longval2&?.

Works like a charm for me.

I am already using around 20 variables for each characteristics i will get text it can go any long.

so i got negotiated with my functional guy i will display max 255 chars for each characteristics text.

But now the problem is it is not even giving me 255 it is giving my only 80 chars that is bad.

Thanks,

Mahesh

Hi Maheshkumar gattu,

if you want to output 255 characters then split it up into 4 partial variables:

out1 = out(80).

out2 = out+80(80).

out3 = out+160(80.)

out4 = out+240.

So now you will need 80 Variables.

Probably it's time to switch to smartforms and use tables.

Clemens

I just did it by calling /: INCLUDING command as standard text pass the tdname.. etc

INCLUDE &V_TEXT2& OBJECT &LV_TDOBJECT& ID &LV_TDID& LANGUAGE &LV_TDLANG& PARAGRAPH K1.

it worked great !!!

No more to worry about 255 chars restriction...
