Issue with Submit and Return in passing string/values of longer length.

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have a FM which has to submit a report as a job.

I am required to send a string( length could be close to 1024 characters or more than that) to the report as the parameter.

I am using Submit with Return.

1.When I pass my string as parameters, in the report it gets truncated at 60 chars.( though i have defined the parameter of type char1024)I lose the data.

2.When I split my string(aflter logical splitting the lenght is still equal to about 200 chars) and then pass as select options it gets truncated at 45 chars in the report ( though i have defined the parameter of type char1024)and i lose my data.

3.I cannot use Export/Import as I found that it does not work with jobs.

Please let me know how can i sumbit the report as a job while passing it a string of length 1024 characters.

Regards,

Sulakshana

Option 3 should work, unless you are not using the EXPORT/IMPORT correctly. I believe that you are going across work processes, which means you may need to use the shared buffer or shared memory when using the export/import statements.

Something like this.

Data: lv_value type string.

lv_value = 'SomeValue'.

EXPORT lv_value = lv_value
       TO SHARED BUFFER INDX(ST) ID 'SomeUnigueKey'.

See this.
