Problem with SAVE_TEXT

[ameesa_sameen]

I am trying to save long text in transaction iW32 using SAVE_TEXT but i am unable to see the text in the transaction.

I am able to see the entries in STXH but not on screen. I am passing the correct values to the FM paramters with leading zeros.

lwa_thead-tdobject = AUFK.
lwa_thead-tdname = concatenating sy-mandt + aufnr with leading zeros.
lwa_thead-tdid = KOPF
lwa_thead-tdspras = sy-langu.

CALL FUNCTION 'SAVE_TEXT'
EXPORTING
header = lwa_thead
savemode_direct = abap_true
TABLES
lines = lt_tline2
EXCEPTIONS
id = 1
language = 2
name = 3
object = 4
OTHERS = 5.


CALL FUNCTION 'COMMIT_TEXT'
EXPORTING
OBJECT = c_object
NAME = concatenating sy-mandt + aufnr with leading zeros.
ID = KOPF
LANGUAGE = sy-langu
SAVEMODE_DIRECT = abap_true

Please help

Hi,

what is the value of c_object ? It should be 'AUFK'.

Hi Ami,

Fill all below header fields, and also pass 'X" value for INSERT parameters,.

HEADER-TDOBJECT	=
HEADER-TDNAME	=
HEADER-TDID	=       ''.
HEADER-TDSPRAS	=       ''.
HEADER-TDFORM	=       ''.
HEADER-TDLINESIZE	=       ''.

HEADER-TDTRANSTAT    =       '0'.

HEADER-MANDT

=       ''.

INSERT

=       'X'.

And call only Commit_TEXT function module without any parameters.

It will work.

I did the same for one of my requirement, and data is storing in respective text.

Praveer.

I have tried this but when i give insert = X save_text gives me sysubrc 5

[ipravir]

Are you trying to insert new text or updating the old text?

[ameesa_sameen]

i am trying to replace the existing text

[ipravir]

You can do one thing,

CALL READ_TEXT Function 1st, get HEADER information.

Update LINES Information, and then call SAVE_TEXT function module to update with new information.

pass SAVEMODE_DIRECT = SPACE while calling SAVE_TEXT.

note: Insert : Indicator: Text is new

[ameesa_sameen]

it is not working if i give savemode_direct = space.

[ameesa_sameen]

It works fine if i have an existing text and i am trying to append some text to the existing text.. but if there is no text then it is not working

[ipravir]

If there is no text, means you are creating the new one.

Then you no need to call READ_TEXT FM and have to user INSERT parameter, in SAVE_TEXT FM with new header inforamtion.

There is a flag in the order for long text (now used for long text language) and SAVE_TEXT won't set this text. (Reference also in 1982719 - Texts cannot be displayed - Usage of function module SAVE_TEXT for PM/CS modules, there are other notes/KBA for other modules)

So either use BAPI_ALM_ORDER_MAINTAIN to create long text or update the flag from your report (a simple UPDATE SET is "allowable")

but it is working for notifications only with save_text.

Hi,

if the text is new, you have to set parameter

INSERT = 'X'

for fm SAVE_TEXT.
