Long text display issue

[Former Member]

Dear Experts,

I have 2 text edit UI elements(namely requestor comments and approver comments).

For the first time, the requestor will provide comments and submit the request ( here approver comments will be hidden)

For the second time, when approver opens the request, he should see the previous comments provided by requestor in requestor comments and approver can also provide his comments.

When requestor opens his request, he should see all the previous comments in one box i.e requestor comments...

I can able to show them,But it is not showing the comments in new line.

PFB the snapshot

Pls help me to resolve this issue.

Thanks

20 seconds of Google:

You have to put a line break (br) between the texts..

Hi Santhosh,

Can you check in debugging, if text entered is having any carriage returns/line breaks stored in it?

Hi Santhosh,

First, I would like to know if whats the value you are getting into the longtext attribute? set an external break point before save and find out if any line breaks/carriage returns are there in longtext attribute.

If no line breaks saved, you may need to apply note.

Note 66666 : use FormattedTextEdit instead of TextEdit

[ramakrishnappa · Accepted solution]

Hi Santhosh,

Please test the standard component WDR_TEST_UI_ELEMENTS, if TextEdit works fine.

...

Run the application ---> choose TextEdit element from left panel---> enter text with line breaks ---> Click on APPLY CHANGES button to refresh the screen .

Check out if line breaks are still fine after clicking button APPLY CHANGES

Also check the below thread,

Hi Santosh,

if you are using TextEdit use:

CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>newline

or

CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES=>cr_lf

as linebreak.

Please used FormattedTextEdit  instead of TextEdit! Than the line-break will work
