LONG TEXT

[Former Member]

Hello,

I need create a table with a field which data element is LRAW (or similar) like the long text that you can add to an invoice o a sales order (header or position). Then I have to maintain that table and I don't know how to do that.

I think to create a program copy of BCALV_EDIT_04 (this ALV let you to add, delete or modify records in the table) and modify the program in order to when you press two clicks in the line a new screen will be showed and develop that screen to modify the text but I don't know any class to maintain the long texts. Does anybody know which class I can use?

Do anybody has any other idea to get what I want?

Can anybode help and show can I work with long texts? I didn't find documentation about that.

Thank you very much in advance,

Manuel
