SAVE_TEXT problem

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am trying to use the FM SAVE_TEXT to mofify a long text of a milestone, the problem is if there is a short text that exists( no long text) and am trying to extend it to long text the FM 'SAVE_TEXT' does not work, where as if there is a long text that exists for the milestone and i try to modify/add few more lines, the FM 'SAVE_TEXT' works, let me know how does it work for short text converted into long text

Dear Sreelakshmi,

Last time when I met this issue, it is the reason is the import parameter:

INSERT = 'X'

After I removed this parameter, the error was gone too.

The following is the source code for your reference:

call function 'INIT_TEXT'

exporting

id = id

language = sy-langu

name = l_name

object = object

importing

header = l_header

tables

lines = l_t_lines

exceptions

id = 1

language = 2

name = 3

object = 4

others = 5.

if sy-subrc <> 0.

clear l_msgtab.

l_msgtab-message_v1 = sy-subrc.

l_msgtab-type = c_error.

l_msgtab-message = text-042.

append l_msgtab to msgtab.

endif.

check msgtab[] is initial.

append lines of lines[] to l_t_lines[].

call function 'SAVE_TEXT'

exporting

client = sy-mandt

header = l_header

• insert = c_yes

savemode_direct = c_yes

owner_specified = c_yes

local_cat = ' '

importing

function = l_function

newheader = l_header

tables

lines = l_t_lines

exceptions

id = 1

language = 2

name = 3

object = 4

others = 5.

if sy-subrc <> 0.

clear l_msgtab.

l_msgtab-message_v1 = sy-subrc.

l_msgtab-type = c_error.

l_msgtab-message = text-043.

append l_msgtab to msgtab.

endif.

hi shilpa

try like this

data: P(10) TYPE P DECIMALS 2.

Data: v_num(4) type n value '1000',

v_long(10) type n .

v_long = v_num.

write: / v_long.

its useful for u
