Description text display issue HCM appraisal form

[Former Member]

Hi ,

I have description text in webdynpro application. If I need to enter description in multiple line . When I reopen application then entered text should display in multiple lines. But when I am saving then instead of showing in multiple lines its getting displayed in single line. I have attached the screen shot for the same. Let me know if any further information required.

Hi,

If we use text edit ui element, the text with newlines(#) will be preserved.

Example: line1: Text1

                line2: Text2

The text is saved as Text1#Text2.

Please check whether your text is saved in DB with new line( #) .

Hi Rama,

Thanks for your reply but we have already implemented this one but still not fulfill my requirement.

Actually at the time of saving its taking all the multiple rows into one row with (#) .but we want multiple rows display if we save multiple rows.

Please help me.

Thanks,

Hi Padam,

Can you give me the snap shot of properties binding of Text Edit field in your application?

Hello Padam,

while saving n lines of data of text-edit, it will save data in DB by concatenating '#', but while showing on UI that '#' will be converted to new line. basically that is not '#' symbol that is 'CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>NEWLINE'   new line symbol.

so if while coming back your data in coming in sfdsdfs#fdsfsd#dsfds this format on UI, means you have some problem with CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>NEWLINE, to resolve this you need to implement this SAP note.

SAP Note 1797388 ..

here is the process how to implement

T code : /osnote

Download Sap Note (Ctrl+F8)

Insert the note then  Execute (F8).

expand the New node and click above the latest downloaded note and click on Implement SAP note (Ctrl+F1)

After applying this sap note data is coming in # format on UI ??

[Former Member]

Yes, Its coming with # format but we have replaced # symbol with space.So now # also is not coming, in replace of # space is coming.

But my requirement is to show data with multiple line not # or space.

[Former Member]

try this ..

replace all occurrence of # by  CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>NEWLINE.. then try.

Tried not working..

Hi Padam,

Could you provide the code which is used to generate the text edit ui element dynamically?

Try placing text edit ui element statically in layout, so that you can compare both.

Which UI element is this..

[vimalv]

Hi,

Try replacing # with cl_abap_char_utilities=>cr_lf , before you display.

Hi Vimal,

My requirement is to show the data with multiple lines but in the text edit box its showing next line in the same line with '#' symbol.

I have applied all the above posted solution but still problem is not solved.

Thanks

Hey PADAMK,

Ensure that you have the context attribute that you have bound this Text Edit to, is of type STRING_TABLE(standard type).

On the save action, Loop at the STRING_TABLE and use function module IQAPI_WORD_WRAP to convert it to lines of 132 chars length so that you can save it as a text object using SAVE_TEXT.

When you have to display, you have to read the text using READ_TEXT, and then bring the string into STRING_TABLE . And each line will be displayed in the Text edit control.
