Hi Chandra,

One work around is to create sufficiently large char strings like datatypes CHAR1024 etc.

You should implement this type of functionality using a Text Editor control or sapscript text editor. You can create a text object via SE75 and you can use the function modules READ_TEXT, EDIT_TEXT, SAVE_TEXT. This way the text will be stored just like any other long text in the system.

I would also suggest using the standard text to store the texts that you have. Take a look at the weblog for a implementation of the same..

You can look at these texts in SO10 transaction

Hi Chandra,

When you create a new column, just give the Component type as CHAR1024 and save.
