How do you get around the BDC limits of FVAL field being only 132 bytes?

All,

Trying to help out a friend here.

They are uploading some routings via a BDC.

It is truncating the text due to the BDC field FVAL only allowing 132 bytes.

Maybe there is a BAPI out there to use.

Thanks .

You haven't given us a lot to go on:

What transaction?

Here is all I know (they also gave me a screen shot but can't put that in here so:

The program is reading the full length of data from excel sheet to SAP internal table, once it is filled, using the BDC recording method we are inserting the text into transaction level(CA02),

But the BDCDATA structure is allowing only 132 char length, and over input data is more than 132 char, for this reason the data is not totally updating into long text.

The field is BDCDATA-FVAL.

ALSO - they may be able to use the program RCPTRA02 - Data Load of routings via Direct Input (no BDC used and field limit is 1492 bytes.

This worked - use the program RCPTRA02 - Data Load of routings via Direct Input (no BDC used and field limit is 1492 bytes.
