Passing data of TextEdit to RFC

[Former Member]

Hi,

Can anyone tell me how to pass data of TextEdit to RFC to update data in R/3. Please note that data in textEdit is of any length, in this case, how can i create an RFC variable of any length. Please let me know the possible solutions from front end as well as from R/3 side.

Thanks,

Srikanth.

You just need an attribute which is assingned to TextEdit UI. You should parse the RFC node and append data to this attribute.

String textLine = "";

for(int index=0;index<wdContext.nodeRFCData().size();index++)

{

wdContext.nodeRFCData().

textLine += wdContext.nodeRFCData().getRFCDataElementAt

(index).getattributename()+"\n";

}

wdContext.currentContextElement().setRFCText(textLine);

String textLine = wdContext.currentContextElement().getRFCText();

String[] lines = textLine.split("
n");

wdContext.nodeRFCData().invalidate();

for (int i = 0; i < lines.length; i++)

{

String string = lines<i>;

element = wdContext.nodeRFCData().createRFCDataElement();

element.Attributename(string);

wdContext.nodeRFCData().addElement(element);

}

Hi,

I personnaly split the attribute linked to the textarea into a table of 132 char. lines.

This is the same way abap stores long text (refer to save_text function module).

This way you can pass data to backend easily.

Hi,

Thanks for your answers. Its helped me to some extent. But I have a strange problem, when i created a textEdit UI and defined cols as 72 and property wrapping = hard. Still on portal screen this UI elements is allowing to type from than 72 chars. Can anyobe tell me how to limit at 72 chars per row while typing in textedit UI.

Thanks,

We can't restrict the number of characters a UI element can take. Rows and columns properties are to specify the visible no of rows and columns.

If u want a restriction in the number of characters you have to create a simple type and set it to a context attribute and then map it to the text view.

Hi Kanwalpreet,

I don't have restriction in no. of chars in TextEdit. My req. is i want to put only 72 chars per each row of textEdit. End user should not be able to insert more than 72 per row. can you guide me how to achieve this?

Thanks,

Srikanth.

create simple data type.there you can set the maximum and minimum length for your data type and bind it to the text edit.

If a create a simple type with max 72 and assign it to textEdit element, does the attribute can save 20 rows of 72chars i.e 20 *72 = 1440 chars?
