Try BAPI_MESSAGE_GETDETAIL

The BAPI returns the message in its entirety in parameter MESSAGE (220 Char). The long text, if available, is return line by line in the TABLES parameter <b>TEXT.</b>

the Messages are usually maintined via SE91. Create a Message.

Select the Message and navigate to

Goto->Documentation->Long Text.

and maintain the long Text there

use BAPI_MESSAGE_GETDETAIL to retrive the msg
