this does not look like a key for sales text.

A sales texts key is a material number, sales org, distribution channel combination.

A successful message means, that you really added text to tables.

If you did not hit an existing material master, then you just created phantom texts.

As the text upload program does not check on existence of data, you have to do it yourself in the LSMW. Means before you transfer_record you should do a select at STXH with the key. Only if this select is succesfull, then you should do the transfer_record.

go into any material master that has sales text. go to the sales text view.

click the Editor button (or double click the text)

now SAP will take you to the sap script editor.

Choose from menu GOTO > HEADER

and SAP will show you in a pop-up in the very first field called text name how the key has to be

Using the old import with method 0001 you have to split the long text into several lines.

I dont go beyond 70.

But SAP offers an option to use a new program in LSMW for text loads.

More can be read in OSS Note 191669 - LSMW: Importing long texts using RSTXLITF

Further read the docu for RSTXLITF in SE38. it even explains more than the OSS note.
