BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEDATA & table bapi_mltx

[Former Member]

Hi

I am using this function to save material data and I have some questions about long texts; I see that bapi_mltx is the structure I have to use for long texts having this structure:

APPLOBJECT	TDOBJECT	CHAR	10	0	Testi: oggetto applicazione
TEXT_NAME	TDOBNAME	CHAR	70	0	Nome
TEXT_ID	TDID	CHAR	4	0	ID testo
LANGU	TDSPRAS	LANG	1	0	Chiave lingua
LANGU_ISO	LAISO	CHAR	2	0	Lingua (ISO 639)
FORMAT_COL	TDFORMAT	CHAR	2	0	Colonna formato
TEXT_LINE	TDLINE	CHAR	132	0	Riga testo
DEL_FLAG	DELETE_FLAG	CHAR	1	0	Canc. record dati (nelle tabelle di ripetizione)

The questions are:

1) if I have to set more texts (descriptions, sales texts ecc) for more views, I have anyway to put all of them together in bapi_mltx?

2) what should i put in text_line field? if I have a text more than 132 characters have I to put more lines splitting them at 132 characters?

thanks to anyone can halp me

Hi,

You can use MATERIALLONGTEXT to enter multiple long texts for a material .

Pass the parameters as follows

APPLOBJECT = 'MATERIAL'

TEXT_NAME = Material Number (MATNR)

TEXT_ID = ID for corresponding Long text

TEXT_LINE = 'Entera Some text '

then append to MATERIALLONGTEXT. Liek this u can create change or create multiple longtexts.

yes

excuse me if I was not clear while explaining

I know I have to use MATERIALLONGTEXT ... I wrote the type and not the name of the field:

MATERIALLONGTEXT	LIKE	BAPI_MLTX

My question is: if I have more than 132 characters for texts, what I have to do?

split on 132 and then make two insert in this table?

[former_member533584]

ok.. first split at 132 then for first time put FORMAT_COL as '*' and from the next time onwards put FORMAT_COL as '=' .

hi,

We faced the same issue and resolved it as follows.

When is length of purchase order text is greater than 132 characters, split it using FM 'SWA_STRING_SPLIT' and append it to mltx.

The code should be something like below.

DATA: lt_string_comp TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF swastrtab,
          lv_input_str  TYPE string.

lv_input_str = wa_matmaster-tdline. "The input string

CALL FUNCTION 'SWA_STRING_SPLIT' 
          EXPORTING
            input_string         = lv_input_str     "string to be split
            max_component_length = 132
          TABLES
            string_components    = lt_string_comp.
        LOOP AT lt_string_comp INTO DATA(ls_string_comp).
          it_mltx-text_name    = wa_matmaster-matnr. "Material id
          it_mltx-langu = 'EN'.
          it_mltx-applobject = 'MATERIAL'.
          it_mltx-text_id = 'BEST'.
          it_mltx-text_line = ls_string_comp-str.
          APPEND it_mltx.
          CLEAR ls_string_comp.

ENDLOOP.
