BP longtext update via LSWM

[Former Member]

Hi,

we are using in LSMW CRMXIF_PARTNER_SAVE for updating long texts on business partner (bp).

it works, but alreadyexistent_ long texts on bp will be overwritten by LSMW

(so we lost them!).

Have anybody a hint how to avoid this?

We need an update(=append) without loosing existent data.

It seems to be a bug in LSMW CRMXIF_PARTNER_SAVE?

thanks,

Alex

Dear Alexander,

There is no bug here. LSMW is actually a recording tool. So which ever fields you have selected will get recorded. I guess you have run the same in background and found all existing data getting overwritten too.

Now the best way to solve this problem is to get the help of the ABAP person.

In LSMW there is a place where we can write an ABAP code.

There we should request the ABAP person to write a code for the field Long Text that if Value="Null" then to get the value from the tab delimited file else if value is not null then it will jump to the next recording element.

Please try this out. It works.
