Hi,

I think there are 3 table you need to fill. One table with the text and the aother intable table about the entries for eg : operaiton 0010 start line and the end line . 3rd internal table is the Method internal table.

Please let me know if you need any other information.

Below code sample is for creating the first operatin text

gs_tline-tdformat = '*'.

  gs_tline-tdline   = v_text

  Append gs_tline TO et_tline.

  gs_text-orderid   = gv_aufnr.(Order Number)

  gs_text-activity  = iv_vornr. (Operation)

  gs_text-langu     = gc_lang. "'E'.

  gs_text-textstart = '1'.

  gs_text-textend   = gv_int.  " last line number, ntg but number of entries in the table et_tline

  APPEND gs_text TO et_text.

  ls_methods-refnumber  = '000001'.

  ls_methods-objecttype = 'TEXT'.

  ls_methods-method     = 'CREATE'.

  CONCATENATE gv_aufnr lv_vornr INTO ls_methods-objectkey

              IN CHARACTER MODE.

  APPEND ls_methods TO lt_methods.

  ls_methods-refnumber  = '000001'.

  ls_methods-objecttype = space.

  ls_methods-method     = 'SAVE'.

  APPEND ls_methods TO lt_methods.

  ls_header-orderid     = gv_aufnr.(Order Number)

  APPEND ls_header TO lt_header.

  CLEAR ls_header.

      CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_ALM_ORDER_MAINTAIN'

        TABLES

          it_methods    = lt_methods

          it_header     = lt_header

          it_text        =  et_tline

          return        = lt_return

          et_numbers    = lt_numbers.

I hope this should help.

Naveen

Suppose you want to populate texts for two line ( Fill the rest of the columns yoursef )

BAPI_ALM_TEXT-ITEM_NO_OF_PRODUCTION_RESOURCE = '0001'
BAPI_ALM_TEXT-ITEMLANGU   = 'EN'
BAPI_ALM_TEXT-ITEMTEXTSTART = 1 " Corresponding start line in the text table
BAPI_ALM_TEXT-ITEMTEXTEND    = 3 " corresponding end line in the text table
APPEND BAPI_ALM_TEXT TO IT_TEXT.
BAPI_ALM_TEXT-ITEM_NO_OF_PRODUCTION_RESOURCE = '0001'
BAPI_ALM_TEXT-ITEMLANGU   = 'EN'
BAPI_ALM_TEXT-ITEMTEXTSTART = 4
BAPI_ALM_TEXT-ITEMTEXTEND    = 5
APPEND BAPI_ALM_TEXT TO IT_TEXT.
BAPI_ALM_TEXT_LINES-TDFORMAT = '*'.
BAPI_ALM_TEXT_LINES-TDLINE = 'item 0001 line 1'
append BAPI_ALM_TEXT_LINES to IT_TEXT_LINES.
BAPI_ALM_TEXT_LINES-TDFORMAT = '*'.
BAPI_ALM_TEXT_LINES-TDLINE = 'item 0001 line 2'
append BAPI_ALM_TEXT_LINES to IT_TEXT_LINES.
BAPI_ALM_TEXT_LINES-TDFORMAT = '*'.
BAPI_ALM_TEXT_LINES-TDLINE = 'item 0001 line 3'
append BAPI_ALM_TEXT_LINES to IT_TEXT_LINES.

And  ofcourse you will need to add save to the method tab as suggested above

BAPI_ALM_TEXT_LINES-TDFORMAT = '*'.

BAPI_ALM_TEXT_LINES-TDLINE = 'item 0002 line 1'

append BAPI_ALM_TEXT_LINES to IT_TEXT_LINES.

BAPI_ALM_TEXT_LINES-TDFORMAT = '*'.

BAPI_ALM_TEXT_LINES-TDLINE = 'item 0002 line 2'

append BAPI_ALM_TEXT_LINES to IT_TEXT_LINES.

hi Naveen ,

below i just pasted  code for header long text .

  wa_et_header-orderid     = gv_aufnr.(Order Number)

move 'CREATE' to wa_et_methods-method.

move wa_et_header-orderid to wa_et_methods-objectkey.

wa_et_methods-objecttype = 'HEADER'.

  APPEND wa_et_header TO it_header.

  CLEAR wa_et_header.

wa_et_methods-refnumber = 1

move 'CREATE' to wa_et_methods-method.

move wa_et_header-orderid to wa_et_methods-objectkey.

wa_et_methods-objecttype = 'TEXT'.

append wa_et_methods to it_methods.

clear wa_et__methods.

wa_et_methods-refnumber = 1

move 'CREATE' to wa_et_methods-method.

move wa_et_header-orderid to wa_et_methods-objectkey.

wa_et_methods-objecttype = 'TEXT'.

append wa_et_methods to it_methods.

wa_et_methods-refnumber = 1

move 'CREATE' to wa_et_methods-method.

wa_et_methods-objecttype = 'OPERATION'.

CONCATENATE gv_aufnr lv_vornr INTO wa_et_methods-objectkey 

      append wa_et_methods to it_methods.

wa_et__methods-refnumber  = '000001'. 

wa_et__methods-objecttype = space.

wa_et__methods-method     = 'SAVE'.

  APPEND wa_et_methods TO it_methods.

CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_ALM_ORDER_MAINTAIN' 

        TABLES

          it_methods    = it_methods

          it_header     = it_header

          it_text        =  it_text

          return        = it_return

hi

i filled and tried that aslo

but its not working

[Former Member]

Hi 

Suppose if it is not working, then once the order is created, you can use FM - SAVE_TEXT for creating the header text.

[Former Member]

hi

my requirement is third party wil create an maintenance order .

in sap we have to update those values in database using bapi_alm_order_maintain .

in this scenario how could i fetch the header long text using save_text.
