Maxmium size of char is 30000.

RAWSTRING (as long as you do not use this field in a WHERE clause of the SELECT statement).

Hi madan,

got it. you have to use LCHR as data type and give the outputlength as 1000 chars, that will work/

Hi Madan,

LCHR should meet your reqt.. pl read the following from SAP help" LCHR: Character string of any length, but has to be declared with a minimum of 256 characters. Fields of this type must be located at the end of transparent tables (in each table there can be only one such field) and must be preceded by a length field of type INT2. If there is an INSERT or UPDATE in ABAP programs, this length field must be filled with the length actually required. If the length field is not filled correctly, this may lead to a data loss in the LCHR field! A fields of this type cannot be used in the WHERE condition of a SELECT statement."

Hello Madan,

To insert values in this tables you have to follow this process:

tables: ztest_np.

ztest_np-mandt = sy-mandt.

ZTEST_NP-TEST_S = 'This is for test'.

ZTEST_NP-TEST = STRLEN( ZTEST_NP-TEST_S ).

insert ztest_np.

if sy-subrc = 0.

commit work.

write: 'done'.

endif.

Hi,

you can use LCHR it can accomodate 32000 chars.

simply declare

<b>data: var(1000) type c.</b>
