<b> "hi all (<)&(>) h r u (<)&(>)" .</b>

Can you show your code?

How do you know that the long text is that way?

[jwalithtatikonda2]

i have seen that text in iw52 transaction

hi,

if the problem is not solved then u can manually change to original text .

that is use following command.

REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF '(<)&(>)' IN text WITH '&'.

i.e

loop at TLINE.

REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES OF '(<)&(>)' IN TLINE-TDLINE WITH '&'.

Modify TLINE.

endloop.

regards

Manoj

thatz fine manoj , but there might be some case like i need to enter text <b>(<)hi(>)</b> . Actually there will be no scenario like this , but if i need to do that by some chance then u'r procedure is not appropriate. My intention is to know why we get those characters, is that because of length ? or type ?

[jwalithtatikonda2]

Hi manoj ,

I have tried everything to solve this problem but ulmately i have to use replace . But in 4.6 am unable to use REPLACE ALL OCCURRENCES , When i am using REPLACE WITH , only first occurrence is being replaced , could you help how i can replace that in entire text .

HI

refer this code

REPORT ZTEXT .

TABLES: PBIM.

• stxh, stxl, stxb - trans tables for text

• ttxit - text on text-ids

• ttxot - Short texts on text objects

• Transaction MD63

SELECT-OPTIONS: S_MATNR FOR PBIM-MATNR,

S_WERKS FOR PBIM-WERKS.

DATA: BEGIN OF HTEXT.

INCLUDE STRUCTURE THEAD.

DATA: END OF HTEXT.

DATA: BEGIN OF LTEXT OCCURS 50.

INCLUDE STRUCTURE TLINE.

DATA: END OF LTEXT.

DATA: BEGIN OF DTEXT OCCURS 50.

DATA: MATNR LIKE PBIM-MATNR.

INCLUDE STRUCTURE TLINE.

DATA: END OF DTEXT.

DATA: TNAME LIKE THEAD-TDNAME.

SELECT * FROM PBIM WHERE WERKS IN S_WERKS.

MOVE PBIM-BDZEI TO TNAME.

CALL FUNCTION 'READ_TEXT'

EXPORTING

• CLIENT = SY-MANDT

ID = 'PB'

LANGUAGE = 'E'

NAME = TNAME

OBJECT = 'PBPT'

• ARCHIVE_HANDLE = 0

IMPORTING

HEADER = HTEXT

TABLES

LINES = LTEXT

EXCEPTIONS

ID = 1

LANGUAGE = 2

NAME = 3

NOT_FOUND = 4

OBJECT = 5

REFERENCE_CHECK = 6

WRONG_ACCESS_TO_ARCHIVE = 7

OTHERS = 8.

LOOP AT LTEXT.

IF LTEXT-TDLINE NE ''.

MOVE LTEXT-TDLINE TO DTEXT-TDLINE.

MOVE PBIM-MATNR TO DTEXT-MATNR.

APPEND DTEXT.

ENDIF.

ENDLOOP.

ENDSELECT.

LOOP AT DTEXT.

WRITE:/ DTEXT-MATNR, DTEXT-TDLINE.

ENDLOOP.

if you still have the problem then look at the text table defination... even you can replace this by usin gthe REPLACE with spaces with some conditions

Thanks

Hi Jwalith,

this behaviour may be due to the reason that & is used to identify variables in the script.. u may verify this by putting anything else in the text..it wont create any such problems.. hence, u may need to get the text in the program, n then make necessary modifications as suggested in the posts above,..

after reading the text using READ_TEXT use FM CONVERT_ITF_TO_ASCII to convert it to ASCII format.

pass the itf content from READ_TEXT to itf_lines table in CONVERT_ITF_TO_ASCII

C_DATATAB export parameter will return the correct results.

Hi Durairaj,

That was a gr8 reply, actually i am working on 4.6 , the function module which u had specified is not there so i have used FM "DSVAS_TEXTE_CONVERT_ITF2ASCII" . This FM solved my problem and raised another problem. That was , its again converting some text to <*> and also am not getting the entire text after calling this function module , could you please look into it ,

[athavanraja]

<*> is the TD format. before passin the ITF table from READ_TEXT to this convert to ASCII function clear the TD format column.

not getting the entire text? is some text getting cut off?

as for replace all

do

find '<' in <var> .

if sy-suvrc eq 0 .

replace ...

else .

exit .

endo .

Hi Durairaj,

Thanq for u'r repetative search n replace. Regarding READ_TEXT and ASCII conversion , some text is missing. what might be the problem. I awarded points for u

[athavanraja]

its very difficult to anyalyze the issue. are you using some stadandard staandard text or cutom one. if its a standard one, give me the name of the text i will try to simulate the case to check.
