Updating the ShortText of an Inspection Lot

[Jose3]

Hallo,

I am trying to update the short text of an inspection lot using SAVE_TEXT. But I can not get it to work. Is there any other way to update the short text of the Inspection Lot. Or How can I fix this approach.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

• SAVE_TEXT will save the long (multiple lines) text (it wont update the main data tables the way transaction, IDOC or BAPI do)
• AFAIK no BAPI to change inspection lot (check it)

What is the exact table/dynpro field(s) that you are willing to change?

Hi @RaymondGiuseppi 
It is QALS-KTEXTLOS.

@RemiKaimal 

[RaymondGiuseppi]

Did you consider a small BDC (executed after save_text commited with wait option?)

During standard maintenance you could use BAdI QST02_STABILOT_WA to change short text, you could look for some BAPI_INSPLOT_* which triggers this BAdI.

(Else look for unreleased FM  at your own risk but first analyse their use by standard code and then test carefully your own code, changing the short text should not get you into trouble, but insure you don't change anything else)

Hello there

It seems you've got a few things mixed up: the inspection lot short text has TDID = 'QALS'. 'QAVE' on the other hand is for the Usage Decision long text. Also, as @RaymondGiuseppi correctly pointed out, SAVE_TEXT will save the long text. But you should still be able to use it, since the first 40 (?) characters of the long text are automatically saved into QALS-KTEXTLOS. Lastly, only concatenate MANDT and PRUELFOS into TDNAME (i.e. without 'L').

Hope this helps.

[RaymondGiuseppi]

Keep in mind that SAVE_TEXT will only change the long text, it will not update the short text saved on the inspection lot.

It looks like the TDNAME for this text is more complicated than your example code.  Check table STXH in your own system to confirm.

I see a requirement for the client number, then PRUEFLOS, then "L".

Hi @juan_suros 

I have tried

CONCATENATE sy-mandt ls_usagedec-insplot 'L' INTO ls_header-tdname.

Still does not work

Looking at the comments above, I suggest you use QA03 to view the long text you are interested in then use the menu to show the "Header" of thi long text. This will settle the question from janbuchman of which keys you should be using.
