Updating table through report

[arindam_samanta]

Hi Experts,

I am updating a ZTABLE through report using insert statement. One field length of table is 255. For this i have created a domain and data element. In selection screen, input parameter accepts 255 characters. But after executing report, when I check the ZTABLE in DDIC, that field has only around 150 characters. When debugging, in input parameter has 255 characters, corresponding field of work area & internal table contain 255 characters. In DDIC ZTABLE filed has less than characters. Why is it happening??

My code is bellow:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Data Declaration part

TYPES: BEGIN OF ty_event.

         INCLUDE STRUCTURE zps_event.

TYPES:END OF ty_event.

DATA: it_event TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF ty_event,

          wa_event TYPE ty_event.

FORM update_table .

   REFRESH it_event.

   CLEAR wa_event.

   wa_event-pspid     = lv_proj.

   wa_event-category       = p_cate.

   wa_event-long_text = p_event.        " This field has 255 cahr length, but DDIC ZTABLE can't accept full length characters

   wa_event-erdate      = p_date.

   APPEND wa_event TO it_event.

   INSERT zps_event FROM wa_event.

*  MODIFY zps_event FROM TABLE it_event.

   IF sy-subrc IS INITIAL.

     WRITE: 'Record successfully updated.'.

   ELSE.

     WRITE: ' Record already exists.'.

   ENDIF.

ENDFORM.                    " UPDATE_TABLE

Are you sure you see the entire content of the cell when you check the DDIC table?

(in SE16(n) you sometimes don't see the entire content of table fields).

Yes, I am sure. I checked in se16n. But not updated upto 255 characters. It is only 169.

Hi

But you can see about 150 chars only or you are sure only first 150 chars are saved?

Hi,

If p_event is a selection-screen parameter, try to declare it as "...TYPE string."

Hi Sir

Try to declare in declaration as LIKE instead of TYPE
