Hi

Since u r trying to insert the text into custom table.

For this u need to capture the text entered in text editor and concatenate into one variable of type string and then insert into u r custom table. For this u can not use the SAVE_TEXT. Since function module require text id & object.

Regards,

Raghu.

hi, thanks for your reposnse

but how long can i concatenate the data? I should have definite length, right?

Hi,

It will depend on the data type and length of the field you use in the custom table to store this text data.

Defind text field data type as string. Then directly store the text in to the respective field. No need to use any function module .

You need not use functional module SAVE_TEXT for this purpose.

You can capture the data field under which you have created the TEXT AREA and pass it into a local string and finally insert into your custom table.

This wil solve your problem.

by using FM SAVE_TEXT you will not be able to save it to your custom table.

ALL texts are stored in Tables STXH and STXL.

I anyway wonder how you think we can save a text to a field. I mean the text can have infinite length. no field can be infinite.
