Perform statement

Former Member — Mon, 13 Jun 2005 16:25:07 GMT

Hi all,

I am using perform statement in sap script.

I need take a "Terms of payment" text in a PO, the length of text is 180, but when return the text to script only take the 80 first words.

The ABAP code is:

data: text(255) type c.
call function 'READ_TEXT'
  exporting
   id = id
   language = language "sy-langu
   name = name
   object = object
  tables
   lines = tlinetab 
  exceptions
    others = 8.
 if sy-subrc = 0.
  loop at tlinetab.
    concatenate text tlinetab-tdline into text
    separated by space.
  endloop.
 endif.
 clear tlinetab.
 refresh : tlinetab.  clear tlinetab. 
 read table out_table with key name = 'TEXT'.
 ind = sy-tabix.
 write text to out_table-value.
 out_table-value = out_table-value.
 modify out_table index ind.

**********
The Sap Script code is:

/:   DEFINE &ZID& = 'F07'                
/:   DEFINE &ZOBJECT& = 'EKKO'           
/:   PERFORM TEXTOS IN PROGRAM ZPEDIDO   
/:     USING &ZOBJECT&                   
/:     USING &ZID&                       
/:     USING &EKKO-EBELN&                
/:     CHANGING &TEXT&                 
/:   ENDPERFORM

When I´m debugging the ABAP program the value that take the variables text and out_table-value is correct, but in the script is wrong.

How I resolve this problem?

Thank for u help.

John.

hi,

i´m not very sure but i think sapscript just allowed 72 columns.

try something with tlinetab-tdformat = '=' to make the line continue.

Best regards

Hi John,

I dont see any issue with code, can you check if the window size is small ?.

Change the size of the window and try.

Hi Mano Sri, the variable "TEXT" is truncate when return to script. When this variable is in ABAP is ok, but when return to script is wrong.

Hi John,

How is your variable &TEXT& declared?

If it is done as a locale variable in the SAPscript form using the "DEFINE" clause, the maximum length will be 60 characters.

Try to define a variable in your main print program. This might work better.
