Hi

The maximum size of data a string can accomadate is 255. What i will do if the count is more than 256. The problem is when i am trying to store 300 characters in a string and print it into a smart form only 255 is displaying. But i need to print more than 300 characters in a single stretch..What i will do..Plz help...

Thanks..

hi,

Save the string as Standard text and print using Text include, otherwise breakup the string and print it as substrings of length 255.

Hi,

Otherwise just print it as two strings as follows;

&wa_string+0(250)& , &wa_string+250(50)&

Hi,

Before displaying it in your smartforms use program lines to break the string into two strings and display them accordingly. If you see the string truncate inside smartform then in the internal table itself split it into two fields before passing it to the smartform.

hi,

you can create the table and store in raw format and then retrive it...eg for table

MANDT MANDT CLNT 3 0 Client

RELID INDX_RELID CHAR 2 0 Region in IMPORT/EXPORT Data Table

ECRNO ZECRNO NUMC 10 0 Employee change request Number

SRTF2 INDX_SRTF2 INT4 10 0 Next record counter in EXPORT/IMPORT data tables

CLUSTR INDX_CLSTR INT2 5 0 Length field for user data in EXPORT/IMPORT tables

CLUSTD INDX_CLUST LRAW 2886 0 Data field for IMPORT/EXPORT database tables

if you need more information regarding how to read and write the data let me know.

Hi,

you have to split the more then 255 characters and print the rest of characters.
