COOIS Interactive text field

[warcsi]

Hello,

I am looking for a way to add a field into COOIS that is user field and then saved.

I am aware how to add fields I would just like to know how I can make and save a user filled custom field.

Thank you for your reply

COOIS is a reporting cockpit and there are many tables available as well as links to associated maintenance transactions/API.

• First identify the table you want to enhance, then look for CI includes or append structures
• Finally, look for BAdIs or other extensions available for the related transactions.
• Example BAdI WORKORDER_INFOSYSTEM.

Hi,

I already have a BADi and a implementation and the CI_IOHeADER structure extendes to match my requirements.

I am interested if you might know about a way to create a user editable text field?

Are you looking for a new long text on order header?

[warcsi]

I think I might be,

I am pretty new to ABAP and am unsure if that is what I am looking for.

[RaymondGiuseppi]

How long should the field be?

[warcsi]

Nothing longer then 50 characters

[RaymondGiuseppi]

Ok just a text field, not a long text object.

Any chanche you might know how to make it interactive/fillable by the end user when they click on it?

I have a solution I think.

I took the problem up with my mentor and after looking into the conclussion we came to was. That the best thing to do is to create a new long text object in SE10 and use SAVE_TEXT and READ_TEXT respectively.

I was also alerted to it and advised to use COMMIT_TEXT instead of using the save option when calling the SAVE_TEXT FM instead of using the Exporting parameter savemode_direct as if there is an error during the creation/saving of the object it would have to be manually deleted.

That is the solution that we came up with if you have something to add please feel free to.
