Have you looked at ZRF1_SUBROUTINE to see how it is written?  You are getting what it returns.

no it is returning a 200+ character value but getting only 80 characters into v_text

Try changing it to

PERFORM GET_ITEM_TEXT IN PROGRAM ZRF1_SUBROUTINE

USING &BSEG-BUKRS&

USING &BSEG-BELNR&

USING &BSEG-GJAHR&

USING &BSEG-BUZEI&

CHANGING &V_TEXT1&

CHANGING &V_TEXT2&

CHANGING &V_TEXT3&

CHANGING &V_TEXT4&

ENDPERFORM

and carving the return value into 4 - 80 long values.  One would suspect that this is a limitation of sapscript.

Thanks Neal,

though i didnot get answer why sting variable value is truncating , your solution worked for me.

Ujwal,

Sapscript is a VERY old interface.  They've never updated it.  That's my expectation for the answer to why... 

I'd imagine that SAP would say for you to translate your form to Smartforms or Adobe.

Check size of variable &STRING&

[Pawan_Kesari]

You can directly print long text in sapscript using INCLUDE command. No need to call subroutine to retrieve text.

See link below for syntax.

Including Other Texts: INCLUDE
