Hi Rohan,

In my case ,whenever notification is created in the Transaction IW21,workflow is getting triggered and I/A Log entry report is created in CBIH82..we can delegate the created report into another format using workflow.while converting,the entire details are copied except the 'safety measure description' Tab.

In the Description tab there is an icon Display note. I'm writing Description inside the Display note icon

nearly (300 char). Only part of the Description is getting displayed  in the screen that is (132 char) remaining text are inside the editor.while converting this report to another format the visible text only transferred the invisible text are not transferred. Is there any difference between the ‘DISPLAY NOTE’  icon and ‘TEXT’ icon?

Thanks

Bharathi

Hi Bharti,

               I'm not quite sure but can u pls check the functional module that u have used. Say for e.g:- if we use READ_TEXT & WRITE_TEXT for read & write operations on notifications. If u use this functional modules then the entire data can be fetched.

Thanks & Regards,

Hi Rohan,

   READ_TEXT & WRITE_TEXT function modules are not used to update the text field. 

   BAPI_BUS1240_CREATE is used to create the new report.In the Tables parameter 'action_longtext' is used to get the text field.

Thanks,

Hi Bharti,

              For what u asked initially their is no difference between display note and text icon.  All these are sap script text.  In sap all Long Text are SAP Script Text.  In Background of SAP Script Text for Particular Field will be set as 72 or 132 by default and  It is SAP standard. All these Text will stored in the table sap script text table STXH and STXP.  First 132 character will be stored as first line item and remaining will be stored in consecutive line.

In order to pick the data I believe u need to use READ_TEXT . BAPI is used to create the report for Business object 1240 (Log entry).  Your issue is already long entry is created and in the report only half the content is visible remaining is not appearing. U need to cross check and find the extract position to write the suitable code, then all the collected information will be passed to the BAPI to pull the data in your report

This is what I can suggest.

Thanks & Regards,
