Hi,

Create standard text SO10 and store the text name in the field you need.

You can sccess the text wherever you need by READ_TEXT

Hi,

You need to create the Long texts fieds in the SO10, then you can use the READ_TEXT function module to read the long text in to a Internal tabel

sudheer,

I am getting the data in the flat file. only for one file i am getting the long text like this. So if i create one field in SO10, how to read the long text data into that particular field and how to relate that to my uploding data....

do u have any sample code like that.....

Hi Sri,

Goto tcode SO10. Give a name for your text . in the next screen you can type in the long text you want to store. This will be stored in that standard text variable in the system.

There is a FM available to read this READ_TEXT, where you have to give the text name as input and which will return the result into an internal table of type txline.

I hope this is your requirement. let me know if u need any more info

Sree,

I am not asking about the reading of the text only...

I have to upload the text also...

Like reading the text upto 255 charecters then appending to one variable then calling the save_text like that

can u give the clear idea if you understood what i said...

One more thing this standard text field is already created...

Hi,

You can split the text and upload after the call transaction directly.

DATA : V_START TYPE I VALUE 0.

DATA : V_LENGTH TYPE I VALUE 132.

DATA : V_LEN TYPE I.

DATA : V_EXIT.

DATA : V_TMP TYPE I.

V_LEN = STRLEN( P_DESC ).

DO.

IF SY-INDEX EQ 1.

MOVE : C_FORMAT TO TLINE-TDFORMAT.

IF V_LEN LT V_LENGTH.

MOVE V_LEN TO V_LENGTH.

MOVE C_YES TO V_EXIT.

ENDIF.

IF V_LENGTH > 0.

MOVE : P_DESC+V_START(V_LENGTH) TO TLINE-TDLINE.

ENDIF.

ELSE.

ADD V_LENGTH TO V_START.

V_TMP = V_START + V_LENGTH.

IF V_TMP GE V_LEN.

V_LENGTH = V_LEN - V_START.

MOVE C_YES TO V_EXIT.

ENDIF.

MOVE : C_EXTEND TO TLINE-TDFORMAT.

IF V_LENGTH > 0.

MOVE : P_DESC+V_START(V_LENGTH) TO TLINE-TDLINE.

ENDIF.

ENDIF.

APPEND TLINE TO IT_LNS.

IF NOT V_EXIT IS INITIAL.

EXIT.

ENDIF.

ENDDO.

Thanks,

Chaitanya.
