How to save formatted text in Transparent or cluster table using WDA

[carlin_willams]

Hi All,

From WDA application I want to save formatted text in Transparent or cluster table.

What Datatypes/Data elements should take in Tables? Format should remain as it is.

How can I achieve above requirement. Please guide step by step.

Thanks in advance.

Note : I will use FormattedText UI element in the view

Hi,

In which table you want to store, generally for text use Char40. or you can use standard datatypes like STEXT

you can search tables for more.

Same type take in WD also.

save text using modify statement.

Kris.

Hi,

If you dont want to use sap data element, create new one with STRING.

Hi Both,

If i use String data type Format will not remain and special characters are not allowed.

Could you please suggest some thing else.

Hi,

I am not sure may you can try XSTRING also..

And you can check this for special char.
