SQ02 long texts extraction

[former_member858887]

Hi,

I am at my first experience with coding in SQ02

I have tried to add a custom field to an infoset to get the long texts of purchasing lines.

To do this I have followd this link: https://blogs.sap.com/2013/09/19/faq-long-texts-in-plant-maintenance/

Unfortunately I'm stuck since I get this error:

Field "THEAD–TDNAME" is unknown. It is neither in one of the specified

tables nor defined by a "DATA" statement. "DATA" statement.

Can you give help/advise on how to solve the issue?

Thanks in advance

hereafter my code:

CLEAR l_texts.

***************************************************

* Data definition for input parameters

***************************************************

data:


name LIKE thead–tdname,

spras like STXH–tdspras.

***************************************************

* Data definition for output

***************************************************

DATA BEGIN OF txtheader.

INCLUDE STRUCTURE thead.

DATA END OF txtheader.

DATA BEGIN OF txtlines OCCURS 15.

INCLUDE STRUCTURE tline.

DATA END OF txtlines.

***************************************************

CONCATENATE ekpo–ebeln ekpo-ebelp

INTO name.

***************************************************

***************************************************

Select single TDspras into spras from STXH where TDOBJECT = ‘EKPO’

AND TDID = ‘F03’ and TDNAME = name.

CALL FUNCTION ‘READ_TEXT’

EXPORTING

client = sy–mandt

IMPORTING

header = txtheader

TABLES

lines = txtlines

EXCEPTIONS

id = 1

language = 2

name = 3

not_found = 4

object = 5

reference_check = 6

wrong_access_to_archive = 7

OTHERS = 8.

IF sy–subrc <> 0.

* Implement suitable error handling here

ENDIF.

LOOP AT txtlines.

CONCATENATE ltext txtlines–tdline INTO l_texts SEPARATED BY space.

ENDLOOP.

REFRESH txtlines.

As you use like, you reference should also be a variable of your program, so either

• Use DATA: name TYPE thead-tdname. (direct ddic ref)
• Define also thead as a variable DATA: thead TYPE thead.
• Use DATA: name like txtheader-thead-tdname. as you already define this variable
• etc.

Hi,

I am really a newbie on ABAP. I have tried but without success.

Would you be so kind to show me directly on the code how you would modify it to let it run properly?

It would be much appreciated

Thanks in advance

Hi, I did a test in SQ02 and it looks like you copied/pasted the code in the link you gave.

But when I write the declaration myself, it works. Looking closer, I see that the "-" between THEAD and TDNAME is slightly longer in the copy/pasted version and is not recognized. Delete the "-" and write it directly with your keyboard. Normally it will work.

But verify all the other fields because I thinks they will have the same problem.

Please edit your question (Actions>Edit), select your code and press the button [CODE], which makes the code appear colored/indented, it'll be easier for people to look at it. Thanks!
