Display Long Text Error Message in ABAP Program

[ganu_k]

Hello Experts,

Can you please let me know if its possible to pass Long Text error message thru ABAP Program.  My scenario is I have defined a Message Class in SE91 and have placeholders & - for Short Text and &V1& &V2& for Long text.

My Requirement is to pass from ABAP Program a Short Text Message and Detail Long Text Message.

Short Text Message is for the User - to be displayed on the Screen.

Long Text message is for details Analysis when he double clicks with details of like - which program - sysrepid and technical information for debugging.

However now when i use the below statement, its printing all the message content in single line for the user which is confusing and not required.

   MESSAGE e001 WITH 'Error in Processing'
    gs_message-sy-repid gs_message-techdetails gs_message-contact .

All I need to know is how to display Short Text in Screen and Long text message only on Double click???

Plz note, I dont want to hard code long text message in SE91, as the long text message should be dynamic pointing to which section of the code is failing.

Let me know if this is possible and if so how? thx

In SE91, Select your message -> Press "Long Text" button, to enter the long text editor.

Once inside the editor, use Edit -> Command -> Insert Command -> Symbols, you can enter placeholder variables like &V1&, &V2& there.

Once you output your message using something like MESSAGE Wxxx WITH 'TEST1' 'TEST2', then &V1& will be replaced by TEST1, &V2& by TEST2 etc in the long text that you get by double clicking the message in the status bar

Thanks a lot Vishnu, that helped, though we can have entirely two different message for Short Text and Long text, i am able to use the & and &V1& to good effect.

thx a lot
