Selecting text fields using QUICKVIEWER

Hello Abap experts,

We have a large number of text fields in the database and the client wants to use QUICKVIEWER to retrieve many reports but cannot retrieve text fields because as far as I am aware you have to use a FM READ_TEXT to retrieve text.

Does anybody know any way that I can around this issue short of deleting all the text fields and creating a user field in the tables and adding the text to it.

Any advice would be appreciated.

From the help for Quickviewer:

>The QuickViewer is especially useful for new users and occasional use.

Hi David,

If you want to use the text field in QUICKVIEWER and get text from SAP then create a BAPI by copying the logic of READ_TEXT as a ZBAPI READTEXT and create it as a remote enabled FM and use in QUICKVIEWER system.

I had same requirment in my project for informatica team.

they want to use the txt from SAP system.

Then i created a BAPI and they calle dthat BAPI in informatica programs and they are getting that text in informatica team.

Thanks

Hello Naresh,

This would be absolutely wonderful if I could do this as we thought it was impossible.

Please give me some clue as to how you would link the BAPI to the Quickviewer since I thought the Quickviewer could only join tables.

Thank you Sir

Hi David,

BAPI can be called from any Non-SAP system.

I had created a BAPI by copying the logic of READ_TEXT FM.

Informatica team called this BAPI in informatica system.

Thanks

Hello Naresh,

My client wants to call text using QUICKVIEWER so I was wondering how you could call a BAPI using QV. They want to join multiple tables and get the text that they can view on the SAP screen....we do not have a non-sap system...it is all SAP

Hope this can still be done

Thanks

Yes from any system you can call BAPI

But i don't know how to write in other systems.

But in my project Informatica people used that one.

It is also like joining tables and get the data .

they want text from SAP so i developed that BAPI FM
