Long Text

[Former Member]

We are running ITS 6.20, patch level 1019

Browser is Internet Explorer 6.0

R/3 version is 4.6c

<u>The scenario:</u>

I have created a custom SAP transaction which allows a user to display and update Supplier

Corrective Action data in a custom transparent table. One of the features of this transaction

is the ability to maintain 6 different types of long text. Each type of long text is accessed by one

of 6 long text buttons located on one of the custom transaction screens. I am using the standard

READ_TEXT, EDIT_TEXT & SAVE_TEXT function modules.

We want all of this functionality available to our vendors who access our system via the

web portal. I have generated an ITS service, coded the HTML templates, and have successfully

tested the custom transaction's ability to maintain the custom transparent table via ITS.

<u>The problem:</u>

When first attempting to access the long text via ITS, a user will be able to display a given type of

long text. However, no changes are automatically saved when backing up from the long text screen, as they are when in the SAP custom transaction. Also, when attempting to access a second type of long text, ITS will only display the long text

from the first attempt.

<u>The question:</u>

Is it possible to somehow access SAP long text directly from the HTML template, rather than relying on the flow

logic referenced within my SAP custom transaction?

Does anyone know where the text for a button would be changed? It is a button associated with PZ14 an IAC.

Hi Dan,

just let me summarize and try to understand this issue:

You created a dynpro based transaction which allows you to change

the content of a text. The text to change is not part of the dynpro

screen, but you want to set it into an ITS field where you can access

it using Bussiness HTML. Is this correct?

Or do you implement this using flow logic?

I think some sample code should illustrate this and clarify your

question.

best regards

Tobias,

"You created a dynpro based transaction which allows you to change

<b><u>This is correct.</u></b>

Below is the portion of HTML template code in which I'm defining the web screen pushbuttons, providing the pushbutton names, and linking same to the function codes defined in the R/3 transaction.

This is my first experience with ITS, so if I've missed something glaringly obvious, I apologize in advance.

Thanks!
