Problem with long text field.

Former Member — Mon, 19 Mar 2007 08:43:06 GMT

Hi all,

I have a problem when I try to concatenate two fields.

It seems the new field only is 254 characters long?

Here is my syntax:

data: w_long_text(1000).

clear w_long_text.

loop at iline.

concatenate w_long_text iline-tdline into w_long_text separated by space.

endloop.

I'm sure the text is longer then 254 becuase I can see the text in an Activity in the Sap Crm system.

Best Regards

Frode

Hi,

All Long Texts in SAP are retrived/fecthed using the fun Module READ_TEXT by passing OBJECT, OBJECTNAME, ID and lang as 4 paramters and the text is fetched into an internal table and read line by line .

You can't display 1000 char in a single Line anywhere as output.

Max length allowed is 255 char only.

u can split line into diffrent -2 line and use it .

Hi thomas

wat i would suggest you is better take an internal table with long_text(255) field .

data : begin of it_text occurs 0,

long_text(255),

end of it_text.

clear : w_long_text,it_text.

loop at iline.

concatenate w_long_text iline-tdline into w_long_text separated by space.

<b>it_text-long_text = iline-tdline.</b>

append it_text.

clear it_text.

endloop.

and when displaying the text keep that in a loop and print it.

This way u can display the whole text irrespective of the char length.

Reward points if helpful
