Perform statement

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I am using perform statement in sap script.

I need take a "Terms of payment" text in a PO, the length of text is 180, but when return the text to script only take the 80 first words.

The ABAP code is:

data: text(255) type c.
call function 'READ_TEXT'
  exporting
   id = id
   language = language "sy-langu
   name = name
   object = object
  tables
   lines = tlinetab 
  exceptions
    others = 8.
 if sy-subrc = 0.
  loop at tlinetab.
    concatenate text tlinetab-tdline into text
    separated by space.
  endloop.
 endif.
 clear tlinetab.
 refresh : tlinetab.  clear tlinetab. 
 read table out_table with key name = 'TEXT'.
 ind = sy-tabix.
 write text to out_table-value.
 out_table-value = out_table-value.
 modify out_table index ind.

**********
The Sap Script code is:

/:   DEFINE &ZID& = 'F07'                
/:   DEFINE &ZOBJECT& = 'EKKO'           
/:   PERFORM TEXTOS IN PROGRAM ZPEDIDO   
/:     USING &ZOBJECT&                   
/:     USING &ZID&                       
/:     USING &EKKO-EBELN&                
/:     CHANGING &TEXT&                 
/:   ENDPERFORM 

When I´m debugging the ABAP program the value that take the variables text and out_table-value is correct, but in the script is wrong.

How I resolve this problem?

Thank for u help.

Hi Mano Sri, the variable "TEXT" is truncate when return to script. When this variable is in ABAP is ok, but when return to script is wrong.

hi,

i´m not very sure but i think sapscript just allowed 72 columns.

try something with tlinetab-tdformat = '=' to make the line continue.

Hi John,

I dont see any issue with code, can you check if the window size is small ?.

Change the size of the window and try.

Hi John,

How is your variable &TEXT& declared?

If it is done as a locale variable in the SAPscript form using the "DEFINE" clause, the maximum length will be 60 characters.

Try to define a variable in your main print program. This might work better.
