String values not shown completely in se11/se16/se16n

[karthik_sub]

Hi Experts,

I have created a table where one of the field is string of below screen shot.

Issue is when the data is getting stored, I could able to see the complete paragraph of long text gets stored. No issue in that.

But, when I view in se11/se16n ...I could not able to view the complete text.

To store and view the complete values...Do i need to use different data type for it ?

Kindly suggest the same.

STRING stores unlimited text in database.

SE11/SE16/SE16N can show only the first characters (e.g. depends on your SE16 settings, if you have chosen ALV Grid, it's truncated at 128 characters)

HI Sandra,

Thanks for the suggestion.

Meanwhile, was planning some READ/SAVE TEXT model.

Because, I saved a huge set of paragraph in one of the field of type - STRING with some special characters too but not viewed before.

Its perfect with string data type itself.

Hi Sandra,

One more doubt on this, If i want to store huge records in READ_TEXT model where I have a values in string data type.

Is it fine that I can use the below code so that i can store the same value to so10 text.

Because, I could able to see that TDLINE holds char -132 only...

how can i pass the complete string that is huge paragraph to lt_lines...kindly suggest me on this case.

DATA: lv_string TYPE string VALUE 'Your string to be saved',
lt_lines TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF tline,
ls_line LIKE LINE OF lt_lines,
ls_header TYPE thead.


*-Populate Header Text details
ls_header-tdobject = <ls_input>-zz_td_obj. "'VBBK'.
ls_header-tdname = <ls_input>-zz_td_nam. "pf_vbeln.
ls_header-tdid = <ls_input>-zz_td_id."'ZRM0'.
ls_header-tdspras = sy-langu.

ls_line-tdline = lv_string.
APPEND ls_line TO lt_lines.

CALL FUNCTION 'SAVE_TEXT'
EXPORTING
client = sy-mandt
header = ls_header
savemode_direct = abap_true
TABLES
lines = lt_lines
EXCEPTIONS
OTHERS = 1.

But the good old "SE16 Standard List" in the user setting shows at least 240 characters

[xiaosanyu]

use DB02 can view the string content by double click the string column.

In the ADT Data Preview tool also.
