Long text getting truncated in sapscript

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I am passing a long text variable from print program (se38) to sapscript.

In the print program the variable stores the long text.

but when it comes to sapscript the length gets truncated .

why ?

Hi,

Wherever you are printing the variable, just checlk if the size of the window/column is big enough to accomodate the text.

Is the text truncated before printing itself ? or its printed truncated on selection screen?

hi ,

thanx for the reply,

text gets truncated in print preview itself.

i put breakpoint in se38 and in sapscript.

in se38 the variable shows full text, but in sapscript, it gets truncated.

coding in sapscript

/: POSITION WINDOW

/: POSITION XORIGIN '-0.5' CH YORIGIN '-0.10' LN

/: SIZE WIDTH '+0.3' CH HEIGHT +0.85 LN

/: BOX HEIGHT '9.0' LN FRAME 10 TW

/: PERFORM PO_TEXT_DISP IN PROGRAM ZTEST_DRIVER

/: USING &EKKO-EBELN&

/: CHANGING &PO_TEXT&

/: ENDPERFORM

/: IF &PO_TEXT& NE ''

S7 &PO_TEXT&

/: ELSE

/: ENDIF

Check the size of po_text,is it sufficientto pass the text.Also Try and pass some value on runtime,and see how many characters is it accepting or displays properly,without truncating.There is a limit to the length of text that can be passed.FInd out how much are you passing.

hi,

declared po_text as 255 char.

length of data in po_text is 153 at run time at se38

but in sapscript only 78 chars are printed

what is the limit of chars to be printed?

Hi,

You would have used READ_TEXT in Driver program.

Try to concatenate the text..and see the difference.

hope this will help you
