Hi all,

I have placed TEXTEDIT control and with type CHAR255 on the form to capture the comments and pass to a FM but it passing characters as CAPTICAL LETTERS.

Any body have idea where what I have missed the step or any help to fix the issue.

Thanks

Looks like char255 has a conversion routines attached to it at the domain level. You can have your own domain with type c(255) or use the TYPE STRING.

It is probably the field converstion coming based upon the data type. Most data elements convert to upper case. You specifically have to set in the DDic domain the lowercase flag if you don't want the converstion to occur.

Instead of char255 (which I checked in my system and the domain does not have the lowercase set), you can use a custom data element/domain with the lowercase flag set or just use the native ABAP data type STRING.
