PPPI - XStep Material text - full length

[former_member410266]

Hi Team,

We are currently working on PI Sheet, we are getting the component details of the recipe using a custom function module and we are using the tables for each of the fields. One of the field is Component Description which is 40 character long and we are passing it correctly with in the function module.

But when we define the characteristics with xstep (which will be a table), we tried with PPPI_MATERIAL_SHORT_TEXT or PPPI_SHORT_TEXT - but all these are limiting it to 30 character length. Is there any trick which we can do to get the full length of the description, may a long text type, but not sure how to use that. Appreciate if you can point me to something using which we can achieve it.

Thanks in advance

Hello,

Please refer SAP KBA on it, 1920744 - PPPI_MATERIAL_SHORT_TEXT only allows 30 characters of Material Description.

Hi,

Is there a way to send any text to more than 30 characters? I am actually using a custom Function call, which outputs tables, one of the table is 40 character length. The parameter which we are using with in Xstep of characteristic type PPPI_SHORT_TEXT which is only 30 characters longs. Is there anything else which we can use to show more than 30 character length?

Regards
