How do u assign a long text to a text element??

Foreg. I have Text symbol u2013 u2018This is text symbolu2019. How do I assign a long text to this. The long text would be around 150 chars??..

Max length for Text Symbols is 132 characters.

Try to split your long text into 2 Text symblos and in program CONCATENATE those 2 text symbols and use it.

how do I assign this long text to the the text symbolu2026 Such that when the user presses F1 on that text pop-up screen, he sees the long text..

Am not sure what kind of logic or FM you are using for Pop up. But if you are using POPUP_TO_CONFIRM, then you can pass the SE61 Dialog Text to the Diagnose Object for more information about a message you are giving from text element.

Can you describe more in detail about where you want the long text?

This a text message of type u2018Iu2019 triggered. I want to add long text when the user clicks on the u2018question mark below.

The text is maintained in text elements in the report.

When the text message of TYPE I is triggered,you get a pop-up like window with the text . On that pop-up screen, you have a question mark below which is 'F1-Help'. When the user clicks that button, I want ot display help text. How shouldi do this or where should i insert the text??

For this case instead of using a text element for the message create a message in the message class SE91 and there you can maintain the long text for the message. So when the user clicks on '?' mark they'll see this long text.

Note : Do not forget to uncheck the Self-Explanatory flag when you create a new message in SE91.

Any possibility of doing it with the text element itself... coz. I would have to create a separate message class just for this message and I cannot use existig message classes because of certain restrictions in the development systems here...?

I am not aware of if there is anything else possible by using only text elements.
