Long Text

Former Member — Mon, 18 Feb 2008 16:29:41 GMT

I have done the BDC for IA01 and it works fine.

I have a question. How would we extract the Long text for Task list (IA01) for one SAP system and how would we upload it back in a different SAP system.

Thanks,

Raju...

- In the original system u should create s z-program in order to download the long text by fm READ_TEXT.

- In the destination system u should create a z-program in order to upload the long text by fm SAVE_TEXT.

Thanks Max.

I was wondering can I create a RFC to serve this purpose. Make a Z_READ_TEXT which is RFC enabled.

Anyways,

I was wondering how would I use the FM READ_TEXT. Can you please help me in understanding it.

Thanks,

Raju.

If you can link your system by RFC is better, so the fm READ_TEXT needs only the header data of your long text.

U can know them by reading a long text of a document, while you're in the text editor go to: GOTO->Header

here you can find:

- The text name (I suppose it's created using the key of the document);

- The language

- The text NAME (I suppose it'll be a constant)

- The text ID (I suppose it'll be a constant)

So you need only to transfer those data to the interface of the fm and the text'll be returned in LINES (the table of the interface of fm).

Thanks Max.

I amable to execute FM Read_text and see the data I need.

However I wondering I would can create the same data in the other system with same name, Object Id....etc, but how would i lonk with the same operation I am intrested in.

There are 100's of operations in IA01, so how would the system know the lonk text to the particular operation.

Hope I am clear.

Thanks,

Raju.

THanks MAx.

Your suggestions really helped.

I have the RFC and now its gets long text from one system and uploads inot the other system.

the status message in SAVE_TEXT is 'I' =>Insert.

I was wondering how would I check the long text if it has uploaded everything I want.

Thanks,

Raju.
