How to handle Long text on SAP ABAP BTP Cloud

[arushijais6]

Hi All,

Does anyone know how we can handle long text on the SAP ABAP BTP Cloud platform? As the READ_TEXT Function Module is not available. Any Lead would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Arushi

Check this answer: SAPscript is not supported in the ABAP Cloud feature set (SAPscript cannot be used in custom code) 😞

My suggestion:

1. Keep the Text repositories in Core S4/R3 ERP system only and not in BTP ABAP environment.

2. Now at the Core ERP level, create an API (OData preferred) for retrieving the Texts. Keep OBJECT, NAME , ID , Language etc. as the parameters. I mean all the parameters using which Texts are maintained/retrieved using READ_TEXT FM.

3. Now at BTP ABAP layer consume this API for retrieving the Texts either using Service Consumption Model or directly consuming it using cl_http_destination_provider and cl_web_http_client_manager by making use of direct URL (not recommended) or Destination or Communication Scenario for establishing the connection.

Hope this helps in leading you towards the solution for this.

Thanks,

Sijin
