Can't display character string longer than 255 char in a table in smartform

[boolan]

Hello,

When I try to display in a table cell in smartform a string that is longer than 255 chars and does not contain CR LF, then only first 255 characters are displayed. The remainder is truncated.

How to solve this problem without destroying formatting of the text ?

I don't want to add any additional CR LF.

Can't smartform display longer texts in a table cell ???

best regards,

Krzysztof.

Hi Try to use below

&itab-var& &itab-var+255&

I had the same issue & it worked for me.

Just take care of the OUTPUT OPTION - OUTPUT STRUCTURE for the text.

this setting has to be same .

Smartforms can only handle the variables of 255 characters. If you more than that you can print them like:

/: L_TEXT+0(255)
/: L_TEXT+255(255) 

and so on.

Thanks !

I tried it, but second variable is then printed in the next line.

So this did not solve my problem.

There is a more promising way - to generate include texts on the fly using SAVE_TEXT and DELETE_TEXT.

Is there anybody who tried it and can give coding sample ?

hi man ,

try with the

\* text+0(255)

= text+255

or else

define a variable of type CACS_CHAR1000SF , which has size 1000 ... and try to display...............

The solution is to use function module IQAPI_WORD_WRAP. It splits the string into a table of desired line length.

The trick with SAVE_TEXT and DELETE_TEXT did not work for me - maybe I did something wrong. The text was in Sapscript format, with * and = as formatting characters. But the longtext was split after 132th char.
