Hello,

Creating a Message Long Text 

Use

Create a long text whenever the message text itself is not fully self-explanatory. 

Prerequisites

You must already have created the message for which you want to create the long text, and not flagged it as self-explanatory. 

Procedure

To enter a long text for a message in the message maintenance transaction (SE91): 

Position the cursor on the relevant message. 
Choose Individual maint.
The message text appears highlighted. 
Choose Long text. 
The SAPscript editor appears. 
Enter your long text. 
Check the text. 
Save the text. 
Result

When you send a message that has a long text, the message is displayed with a yellow question mark symbol. 
Depending on the SAPgui settings, the message is displayed: 

In the status bar (at the end of the message area), 
In the message dialog box (on the Help pushbutton). 
If you then click the message line or the Help pushbutton, the long text is displayed.
