Problem with FM TEXT_SYMBOL_SETVALUE

Former Member — Tue, 18 Dec 2012 07:51:12 GMT

Hi Forum,

When using FM TEXT_SYMBOL_SETVALUE for replacimg variable in SO10 text.

Data declaration in FM:

data: nam like tline-tdline,

val(c_ts_maxval),

val_length like integer,

field_type.

In the above code c_ts_maxval is always 80 hence the string is truncated after 80 chars.

I tried passing different lengths in importing param VALUE_LENGTH to the FM but still the string is truncated after 80 chars.

Has anyone faced this issue, is there a note for this?

Thank you,

Anubhav

Check with FM documentation, in which 80 character restriction is thr in FM itself you cant increase it :

Just for info, I am handling long strings with below code...

DATA:

lv_chat(80),

lv_strlen TYPE i,

lv_rem TYPE p DECIMALS 1,

lv_loop TYPE i,

lv_remaining TYPE i.

DATA lv_param(12).

DATA lv_index.

DATA lv_completed TYPE i.

DATA lv_offset_s TYPE i.

lv_strlen = strlen( ls_chat-message ).

lv_rem = lv_strlen / 80.

lv_loop = ceil( lv_rem ).

lv_completed = 80 * ( lv_loop - 1 ).

lv_remaining = lv_strlen - lv_completed.

DO lv_loop TIMES.

lv_index = sy-index.

lv_offset_s = 80 * ( lv_index - 1 ).

CONCATENATE `QUES_TEXT` lv_index INTO lv_param.

IF sy-index = lv_loop.

lv_chat = ls_chat-message+lv_completed(lv_remaining).

ELSEIF sy-tabix LT lv_loop.

lv_chat = ls_chat-message+lv_offset_s(80).

ENDIF.

CALL FUNCTION 'TEXT_SYMBOL_SETVALUE'

EXPORTING

name = lv_param

value = lv_chat

replace_symbols = 'X'.

ENDDO.

in SO10 text I have used 4 place holders like QUES_TEXT1, QUES_TEXT2 and so on since in my case text can not be longer 300 chars i.e less then apprx 80*4 = 320 chars hence 4 place holders. In above code I determine the string length and based on the calculations replace the place holders.

Thanks
