I ALSO HAVE an & variable that appears just as & in the long text, how to correct this.

I just created a new message using se91 with 900+ number

Now I want to add long text to this message

When I click on long text I get the following message

&Cause&

& system_response&

&what_to_do&

&sys_admin&

Where do I enter the long text in the editor. Thanks

Hi.

You can fill your text between the System variables.

If you look at a longtext of other errors, the explanation of the error is separated by cause etc.

So the explanation of the error should be in section &cause&.

If you know, for example what to do if the error occurs to avoid it next time, you can maintain this info in section &what_to_do&.

Regards,

Timo.

it depends on what you'll let the user know. If you first enter a text what causes the error - put this under &Cause&. And so on. Just fill a line under each topic and use the preview and I think it will be clear.

Hi,

you have to name the variables &1, &2..&4 in the short text and use &V1&, &V2&.. in the long text.

I am wanting to display the message variables in the long text. If I am reading this post correctly, the suggestion is to define the variables in the short as &1 &2 etc.. and then in the long text use &V1& and &V2& etc.

I did this and it did not work. Did I misunderstand or am I just way off base here?

This is what I did.

Message short text:

Some information is missing &1 &2

Message Long Text:

You have not provided enough information to complete this order.

You must still provide &V1& and &V2&

So then in my code:

Message e042 with 'Order qty' 'Customer number'

The Results:

The Basic message shows fine:

Some information is missing Order Qty Customer number

But the long text does not. It appears exactly as written.

You have not provided enough information to complete this order.

You must still provide &V1& and &V2&

What I was expecting was:

You have not provided enough information to complete this order.

You must still provide Order Qty and Customer number

If there a way to do this?

Thanks

Hello Larry,

I had the very same problem with the MS Word Editor. Entering "&V1&" as normal text does not work. You have to use the button "Insert Command... (Ctrl+F9)", choose symbols and enter "&V1&" (without the quotes) there. Than the entered symbol is created and marked with a dark background, similar to the headings already present.

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Christoph
