[Former Member]

HI ,

In my webdynpro application I have a text edit control . If the user enters more than 132 characters without a carriage return, the I get the error "Entry is too long" . In the property of the text edit I have changed the following.

Wrapping : Hard (So a carriage return is inserted at the end of every line)

Cols: 130

.

Can you guys help me out.

Thanks in advance,

Hi,

You might have bound some context attribute to this TEXT EDIT.

what is the DE/Domain (Length & Type) you have used.

Hi,

You can either have a STRING pr CHAR1024 type for that right.

hi ,

The attribute to be bound can be of type STRING or STRING_TABLE. With STRING_TABLE rows from TextEdit are stored as table rows. A line break is always stored as a line feed in a STRING (CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>NEWLINE, ASCII decimal 10). The Web Dynpro framework carries out the conversion for the client platform.

Note that a string to be displayed in TextEdit, must only use a line feed as a line break.
