Mapping long text to shipping instructions in ORDERS05

[Former Member]

Hello,

The input xml file for the interface contains a field with shipping instructions that has unlimited length. In message mapping this is mapped to ORDERS05->E1EDKT2->TDLINE. Althoug it looks fine in the payload of XI, where all the information is shown, the length of TDLINE which is 70 characters, means that only the first 70 characters is shown in the IDOC.

Anyone has any idea how to solve this so that all the information will be transfered to the IDOC?

Regards,

hi,

E1EDKT2 has occurance 0000000001/9999999999

so you can cut the long tests and

create many E1EDKT2 segments

Hi,

Yes, that's fine, but how can one do the cut?

Thanks,

Java UDF would probably be easiest. Send in the long text field and pass out a queue of 70 character values.

Hi Per,

where are you looking? In the target system via WE19?

WE19 is sometimes irritating and doesn't show the real length?

Sometimes it is better to scan table EDID4 via SE16

Hi Mario,

it doesn't matter how you see it

if the field is longer then 70

is has to be posted as a new segment

just like I described
