Uploading long text using LSMW

[Former Member]

Hi Wizards,

Could any of you kindly tell me how to upload multiple lines of long text against the same material code? My client requires upload of long text comprising more than 500 characters in material master but the max character length permitted per line is 132.

I have tried to do with multiple line items against the same material code in my flat file but only the last line shows overwriting the previous lines. Kindly help.

Thanks and regards,

Hi,

Please use following loaging method in LSMW:

                                         
Object               0001   Long texts    
Method               0001   (No selection)
Program name         /SAPDMC/SAP_LSMW_IMP 
Program type         D   Direct input     

Regarding the max number of characters in a long text: There is no limit for the number of characters present in a LT. It can be more than 500 characters also. But you need to understand that in a single line of LT it can accomodate more than one line with 132 characters. So, if you need to load more than 500 characters, some data preparation is required. The lines are to be split with a line of maximum 132 characters. load it in two files, a header & then lines.

hope this helps.

Which program are you using? RMDATIND?

Did you fill field TDFORMAT (value = * ) ?

sharing your both files and "maintain source fields" step would be helpful. And obviously the conversion rules screenshot.
