Handling long text display

Dear forumers,

I have a bit of an issue with a long text display for a smartform in CRM. Hope you can help me out.

Here's what I've done so far:-

A sample text input is initially in a string data type as shown above – in this example, it has 808 characters of length in total.

Next, this text input is passed to the FM, CONV_TEXTSTRING_TO_ITF.

(I had earlier used the FM, G_SPLIT_LINE, but this didn't work well because it had a limitation of 500 characters of length for the text input.)

The text input is broken down into multiple lines as shown above after it is processed by the FM, CONV_TEXTSTRING_TO_ITF.

The text lines here have a maximum length of 132 characters per line.

Next, these text lines will processed by the FM, FORMAT_TEXTLINES.

The text lines are finally formatted as above after it is processed by the FM, FORMAT_TEXTLINES (this is meant to limit the length of text up to 100 characters per line, solely for the smartform display purposes).

These text lines now have a maximum length of 100 characters per line.

How may I resolve the issues as highlighted in the red bubbles?

Appreciate any of your help here.

Thanks in advance.

You should collect string in to internal table then make a loop.

DATA: lv_string TYPE string,

lt_split TYPE TABLE OF char40,

lt_char128 TYPE TABLE OF char128,

lv_wa_str TYPE string,

lv_len TYPE int4,

lr_split TYPE REF TO char40,

lr_char128 TYPE REF TO char128.

DO 50 TIMES.

CONCATENATE lv_string

`This is hello world program`

INTO lv_string.

ENDDO.

SPLIT lv_string AT space INTO TABLE lt_split.

LOOP AT lt_split REFERENCE INTO lr_split.

lv_len = STRLEN( lv_wa_str ) + STRLEN( lr_split->* ).

IF lv_len LT 128.

CONCATENATE lv_wa_str lr_split->* INTO lv_wa_str SEPARATED BY space.

ELSE.

APPEND lv_wa_str TO lt_char128.

lv_wa_str = lr_split->*.

ENDIF.

ENDLOOP.

APPEND lv_wa_str TO lt_char128.

Thanks much, Avirat. But after populating LT_CHAR128, any idea on how I should convert this data to the internal table of the type, TLINE?
