Hi,

Check the parameter OBJECTNAME , that you are passing to the Fun module.

What code you have written? put here? it is easy to know what;s wrong in it.

Hi,

In the Transaction code QP01, press the Line editor button, then the line editor will open, then press Goto --> Header, you will get the options to pass in the SAVE_TEXT function module, pass these values in that function module then the text will be stored in the Transaction also

This is one of the old transactions that SAP had where it determines the existence of long text based on whether the language key field is having a value or not. Unfortunately that language key is filled in only if you go through the transaction instead of SAVE_TEXT. You will have to do a direct update of the table field with the language key (make sure you update it in internal format). The field is TXTSP on PLKO and PLPO depending on if the text is for header or item. Set this field to 'E' (assuming you are uploading the text in English language).

To validate this, you can check the current value of this field and it will be blank. You can then go to the transaction in change mode, go to the text long text area and simply save without entering anything. You will see your text now because this field will now show 'E' as its value.
