Hi,

I am using create_text and save_text function module to store one text as standard text. But there is one constraint which i am facing, is only upto 132 charcters are allowed to store a standard text. But i need to store more than 132 chars. Plz tell me how can i do that? is there any option to do this?

Do you mean the table FLINES? If so, you should split your long text into chunks of 132 characters and append it row by row to a table, then pass it to your FM call.

I think there are function modules that will convert a String field to a table of character fields of a given length - if not it would be easy to code it yourself.

Hi,

In the tables parameter you can put in multiple lines

yes in one line you cannot put more than 132 characters but yuo can split the data at 132 characters and put it in other line and append it to he table tdline

eg.


tdformat  tdline

*             sapsapsapsapsapsapsapsapsapsapsapsapsapsapsapsapsaps...132 
*             abapabapabapabapabapabapabapabapabapabapabapabapabap...132
and so on

hope this helps

regards
