OTR long texts

[Former Member]

Hello,

I must display several popup windows with help texts. These texts are longer than 255 characters for an OTR short text. I find no way to create and assign an OTR long text to any text-type UI element in my web dynpro application.

Can someone suggest how to work with long texts ??

Thanks

the following code snippet is an example for binding the SAP script text to a FormattedTextView UI element:

data:

wa_thead type thead,

lt_tline type table of tline,

lo_formatted_text type ref to CL_WD_FORMATTED_TEXT,

l_theadname type THEAD-TDNAME,

l_text type string.

data:

Node_Tip_Text type ref to If_Wd_Context_Node,

Elem_Tip_Text type ref to If_Wd_Context_Element,

Stru_Tip_Text type If_Tips=>Element_Tip_Text ,

Item_FORMATTED_TEXT like Stru_Tip_Text-FORMATTED_TEXT.

• get message manager

data: l_current_controller type ref to if_wd_controller,

l_message_manager type ref to if_wd_message_manager.

l_current_controller ?= wd_This->Wd_Get_Api( ).

CALL METHOD l_current_controller->GET_MESSAGE_MANAGER

RECEIVING

MESSAGE_MANAGER = l_message_manager.

• Get the text element from the context

Node_Tip_Text = wd_Context->get_Child_Node( Name = IF_TIPS=>wdctx_Tip_Text ).

Elem_Tip_Text = Node_Tip_Text->get_Element( ).

move wd_assist->C_TIP_ENVIRO to l_theadname.

• Read the Standard Text defined for this Tip in the logon language

CALL FUNCTION 'READ_TEXT'

EXPORTING

• CLIENT = SY-MANDT

ID = 'ST'

LANGUAGE = sy-langu

NAME = l_theadname

OBJECT = 'TEXT'

• ARCHIVE_HANDLE = 0

• LOCAL_CAT = ' '

IMPORTING

HEADER = wa_thead

TABLES

LINES = lt_tline

EXCEPTIONS

ID = 1

LANGUAGE = 2

NAME = 3

NOT_FOUND = 4

OBJECT = 5

REFERENCE_CHECK = 6

WRONG_ACCESS_TO_ARCHIVE = 7

OTHERS = 8

.

IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.

" If Standard Text couldn't be read for this language or another reason, display

" error message

CALL METHOD l_message_manager->REPORT_T100_MESSAGE

EXPORTING

MSGID = SY-MSGID

MSGNO = SY-MSGNO

MSGTY = SY-MSGTY

P1 = SY-MSGV1

P2 = SY-MSGV2

P3 = SY-MSGV3

P4 = SY-MSGV4

• MSG_USER_DATA =

.

ELSE.

" Convert the Standard text into Web Dynpro Formatted Text

CALL METHOD CL_WD_FORMATTED_TEXT=>CREATE_FROM_SAPSCRIPT

EXPORTING

SAPSCRIPT_HEAD = wa_thead

SAPSCRIPT_LINES = lt_tline

RECEIVING

FORMATTED_TEXT = lo_formatted_text.

" Set the Formatted Text in the context for displaying in view

Elem_Tip_Text->set_Attribute(

exporting

Name = `FORMATTED_TEXT`

Value = lo_formatted_text->m_xml_text ).

ENDIF.

Hi,

Yes,you can use SO10 transaction to create your own text.

And use function module READ_TEXT to read your text in tline table format.

Then you can use it to display in pop up window.

Hi

If text which is longer than 255 characters, or needs to be formatted into paragraphs, u need to create a standard SAP script text using transaction SO10. Once u hve saved and hv the text name, binding the SAP script text to a FormattedTextView UI element .
