[Former Member]

Hi,

I have three question what to ask :

1. what is the "long texts". I heard many times. But don't know what is it ?

2. When you use the SAPscript, if you meet this situation to make a long texts for a sales order , how will you do that?

3.who have the steps for upload long texts using LSMW? Don't give me the "help library webpage" I know this,but when i test it ,i encounter some errors.

So who have done it before, give me an example ?

thanks

Hi,

Long text are genrally used as information text in many places for 2 purposes.

1). For internal communications

2). FOr external printing purposes.

Long texts are available and many transactions. Eg. PO , SO etc

Which specific long text r u referring to ?

Long text could be used in sapscript, you create it with the transaction SO10.

Long text could be used in a lot of standard SAP transaction to store informations. For example VL02N, VA02, CO02 .......

Long text could be used to store anything.

The text are save in the tables : STXH (header) STXL (text). The second table is cluster table, so you can't access directly, you must use the function READ_TEXT, SAVE_TEXT ....

Hi,

Long texts are those texts which are greater in length than a standard short text descriptions. Examples are the material PO text or the Equipment long text description. As the last post said you can use them for just about anything.

I have used LSMW to load long texts with object 0001.

The steps are the same as any other LSMW object with the following exceptions:

1. All structures must be in ONE deep structured file

2. The OBJECT, NAME, & ID must be filled out completely.

3. The NAME field changes from object to object - check out what the proper contents should be.

4. In the long text line structure I always use '/' for the format column and always pass one record that contains no text so the short text is not replaced.

Reply back with specific errors and an example of what you are trying to do and we can help more.
