QM02 Text Functionality

Former Member — Fri, 04 Jul 2014 00:30:13 GMT

Hi Folks,

If you go into QM02, there is some very nifty text functionality where the user is able to read only the text that was saved before them, but still write new text in the same text box. Our users have that requirement in a custom transaction that we are building, before I go debugging through the standard code, can anyone advise me on how SAP managed this, anything from code snippets to words of encouragement that this is possible would be appreciated!!

Thanks for any help,

Colm

Hi Colm

to save text in the way you want you must use the format ">X"

lw_lines-tdformat = '>X'.

lw_lines-tdline = '* text'.

append lw_lines to lt_lines.

CALL FUNCTION 'SAVE_TEXT'

EXPORTING

header = l_header

savemode_direct = 'X'

TABLES

lines = lt_lines.

if you want to create a history line in the format: * 04.07.2014 11:11:58 USER (USER)

use the FM TEXT_CREATE_HISTORY_LINE

Regards

Hi Marco,

Thanks for your help, that is part of the solution but not the full part. So if you save the text with the TDFORMAT of >X, then you need to use the method protect_selection of the class c_textedit_control,


*  This is for the comments box
   CREATE OBJECT go_editor
     EXPORTING
       repid                      = sy-repid
       dynpro_container           = 'P_COMMENTS'
       wordwrap_mode              = c_textedit_control=>wordwrap_off
       wordwrap_position          = gc_line_length
       wordwrap_to_linebreak_mode = c_textedit_control=>true.

 * Don't have tool-bar or status bar
   CALL METHOD go_editor->set_toolbar_mode
     EXPORTING
       toolbar_mode = c_textedit_control=>false.

   CALL METHOD go_editor->set_statusbar_mode
     EXPORTING
       statusbar_mode = c_textedit_control=>false.

   CALL FUNCTION 'CONTROL_FLUSH'.

 *    intialize variables displayed on dynpros
   CLEAR gv_from_line.
   CLEAR gv_from_pos.
   CLEAR gv_line_text.

   "Read the existing comments
   CLEAR: lv_name, lt_lines.
   CONCATENATE gs_final_text_left-vbeln gs_final_text_left-posnr gs_final_text_left-etenr
   INTO lv_name.
   CALL FUNCTION 'READ_TEXT'
     EXPORTING
       id                      = gs_final_text_left-txt_id
       language                = sy-langu
       name                    = lv_name
       object                  = gs_final_text_left-txt_obj
     TABLES
       lines                   = lt_lines
     EXCEPTIONS
       id                      = 1
       language                = 2
       name                    = 3
       not_found               = 4
       object                  = 5
       reference_check         = 6
       wrong_access_to_archive = 7
       error_message           = 9
       OTHERS                  = 8.

   "Loop at the text that we read back
   CLEAR: ls_lines, ls_comments, lt_comments.
   LOOP AT lt_lines INTO ls_lines.
     ls_comments = ls_lines-tdline.
     APPEND ls_comments TO lt_comments.
   ENDLOOP.

   "Prefix All Comments with a ---------- and date time"
   WRITE sy-datum TO lv_datum.
   WRITE sy-uzeit TO lv_uzeit.
   CONCATENATE '--------' lv_datum lv_uzeit '--------'
   INTO ls_comments SEPARATED BY space.
   APPEND ls_comments TO lt_comments.

   "Also prefix the LT_LINES table, so we can compare the before and after
   "text to ensure text is changed on closure
   ls_lines-tdline = ls_comments.
   APPEND ls_lines TO lt_lines.
   gt_existing_comments[] = lt_lines[].
   "Pop the text onto the Container
   CALL METHOD go_editor->set_text_as_r3table
     EXPORTING
       table           = lt_comments
     EXCEPTIONS
       error_dp        = 1
       error_dp_create = 2
       OTHERS          = 3.

   CALL METHOD go_editor->select_lines
     EXPORTING
       from_line = 1
       to_line   = 3.
   CALL METHOD go_editor->protect_selection
     EXPORTING
       protect_mode = 1.

   CALL METHOD go_editor->set_selection_pos
     EXPORTING
       from_line = 6
       from_pos  = 1
       to_line   = 6
       to_pos    = 1.
