Line width Issue regarding call_function Format_text-lines.

Former Member — Mon, 17 Jun 2013 12:14:41 GMT

Dear Experts,

I am using Read_Text and Format_text-lines call functions.

The linewidth used in call function Format_text-lines is limit to 132 character.

But i need more than 132 Character for PO description purpose,

so How will Line width can be increased .

Sample Code:-

CALL FUNCTION 'READ_TEXT'
         EXPORTING
           id                   = co_text_id4
           language      = sy-langu
           name            = gv_tdnamei
           object           = co_objecti
         TABLES
           lines           = gt_linesi
         EXCEPTIONS
           id              = 01
           language        = 02
           name            = 03
           not_found       = 04
           object          = 05
           reference_check = 06.
       IF sy-subrc EQ 0 AND NOT gt_linesi[] IS INITIAL.
         CALL FUNCTION 'FORMAT_TEXTLINES'
           EXPORTING
             cursor_column = 0
             cursor_line   = 0
             endline       = 99999
             formatwidth   = 72
            linewidth     = 132
             startline     = 1
             language      = sy-langu
           TABLES
             lines         = gt_linesi.

        Thanks & regards

You cannot with this FM as it uses an internal table parameter with a length of 132 characters.

So you could analyze the FM source and adapt it in one customer-FM. (Analyze form f_tl of program SAPLSTXL include LSTXLFFO.)

Hi Gaurav,

Why do you want to increase it because the tables parameter takes a table of type TLINE which has 132 characters limit.

Ankit sir,

I know that its limit its 132 character but my PO Description is more than 132 character say

250 character long.

so what is the alternative solution for printing more than 132 character.

Thanks

Hi Gaurav,

No need to call anyone Sir here because we all are professionals.

Ok, i think i got your problem. You cannot do it via FORMAT_TEXTLINES.

See this thread - http://scn.sap.com/thread/2117740

(has another FM and a SAP note too).

Hope it helps.
