Hi,

On the screen you need to define an input field corresponding to the long text that you need the user to see.

In the PAI of the screen,write the statement:

FIELD : fieldname.

Also, dont forget to define a variable with the same name as the fieldname and same type in the program.

In the program, read the text using the function READ_TEXT and assign it to the variable

Hope this solves ur problem.

Hi

Generally we restrict the use to have max lines in long text. Suppose if they are going to enter only 3 lines then its easy to fix it for those with 132 character a line. But if not sure on the no of lines then create a table control with RSTXT-TXLINE field.

Loop the read line data and populate line by line and when u want to update store in a internal table and update the same.

Hope will solve the issue.
