LSMW - table control line selection

Former Member — Fri, 05 Oct 2007 16:44:18 GMT

Hi ,

I am doing a recording to update the long text of operations using IA06 transaction, but when I need to select a particular operation number , in the recording it is showing the line number as (01) or (02) but I need to select a particular operation using its number (0010) or (0020). There is no position button in the transaction also. Please let me know how this kind of line selection can be done.

Regards,

Try putting your cursor on any field in the line you want and then pressing F2.

Hi Bob,

My requirement is to select a particular operation number the number of which i read from an input file. If I have operation number 20 in the file then the cursor should focus on the operation 0020 and after selecting it , should open the long text editor and fill values in it.

Yes - you have to figure out which line that will be on in your screen and then do what I said in the earlier post.

Hi Rob,

The recording should do that for you. Put your cursor on the line and press F2. Doesn't that work?

Hi Rob,

The F2 option is working but only after selecting a particular line, but my question is how to select the particular operation number. If there are 20 operations and I want to select line of operation 50 it while the recording is running in background. I need to tell the system to select the line corresponding to operation number 50.

You do that programmatically, by counting the number of lines that will display before the one you want. the problem will be if the one you want is not on the current page.

Hi Rob,

I thought of that option but assume if there are 10 operations 0010 to 0100.

and my requirement is to select operation line 30 , then using logic i will select the third line item, but if an user deletes operation 0010 and in that case 0020 will be in line 1 and then the logic would operation 40 instead of 30. Can you please let me know if an alternative is present for this.

That's what I've been saying. You have to retrieve all of the operations so that you will know where each will fit on the screen.

Hi Rob,

Do you mean to say that before entering the transaction I need to retrieve all operation numbers corresponding to that planner group and keep it in an internal table , so that I could position the operation number line based on the internal table values. This sounds to be fine, but coding this in a BDC would be easy but within an LSMW would be bit difficult I suppose.

Well, I was just thinking of BDC alone not LSMW. But yes, how else will you know which line to change without a position button?

Why are trying to load texts using BDC? Use SAVE_TEXT function module instead, if the operations are already created. If they are not created already, then create them using LSMW and then go back to add texts using the function module. Do not attempt adding long texts using BDC.

Srinivas - I completely missed the part about long texts. Yes, the text modules are the way to go, so long as nothing else is being updated.

Hi Rob and Srini,

Thanks for your inputs. But I am not much clear about the parameters to be passed to SAVE_TEXT function module. Any reference thread in SDN. Could you please send me the URL .

Just type in SAVE_TEXT in the search area and you will get tonnes of them.

Hi,

I checked it but none of them is matching the long text update for operation in PM general task list. I checked the text id , it has the value 060A001000010000000100000001 what combination of values is this.

It corresponds to the key fields of the primary table. In your case it may be PLFH. Verify the contents of this table with the values and see if it is correct table.

Also check PLFL

Hi,

Using a BDC to update long text - Will it cause any problem in regards to data consistency.

Using Save_text function module will it cause any problem or it is consistent.
