U can not see the long text directly in the database

U have to use FM READ_TEXT to see the long text.

to this FM, u have to pass TDID, TD OBJECT, TD NAME AND TD SPRAS

Hello,

1.Are u using COMMIT_TEXT or COMIIT_WORK after calling the save text.

2. Does the table STXH have an entry for the text u have created.

3. If every thing is okay then create a text in the Tcode IA11 directly and compare the entry with ur entry in STXH.

Hope with this you can sort out the issue.,

Cheers,

Thanks Vasant.

I have looked into one of the previous post and have done everything you have mentioned.

The entry also exists in STXH table. However I am still Unable to process the records.

However in IA11, there is a check box for long text. when I do manually go and create a long text the check box is automatically checked on., However when I am using the FM its not.

One more observation for the operation that already had a check mark on and now when I try to save the laong text it created and removed the older text.

Please suggest,

Raju.

Hi Raju,

That is the problem with SAVE_TEXT, it does not append lines to the existing text but edits it completely.

If you want to append to an existing long text, you'll have to read the text first using READ_TEXT and then append the other lines to that table and then use SAVE_TEXT with the whole appended table.

The first issue, you can only solve by finding the database table. Because your long text is getting created and you can see it in STXH.

But what r you doing to link this text with your object.

When you create it manually, the corresponding table gets updated, but the SAVE_TEXT doesnt do that.

That is why you can see your long text in STXH but not in IA11.

What is the field that gets checked on in IA11 when you have a long text?

Hi Raju,

Kindly let everyone know if you were able to fix this problem.

hi, the answer is...

you are missing COMMIT WORK after SAVE_TEXT

hello Raju,

I had the same experience with work order long text.

The problem occurs when you create a new long text right?

For me, I had to update the field txtsp field of table AFVC to link the long text to work order.

i gues you also have to do some thing like this. I am not sure which table needs to be updated.

I suggest you debug the program for IA11 and check the table field for long text.

Is there a long text exists indicator in an associated table (sometimes called LTEXT)? This has to be set ON ('X') or SAP will not look for your long texts, if the long text exists indicator is not ON.
