Hi. You can use TextView or TextEdit.

hi, I separate the string by CRLF

DATA: crlf(2) TYPE c.

crlf = cl_ABAP_char_utilities=>cr_lf.

......

CONCATENATE 'aa' 'bb' INTO l_tmp_str SEPARATED BY crlf.

......

But , in the Text view , I can not see the line has been changed , is there anything I had done wrong ?

Hi Blake,

I created a context attribute "TEXT" of type string, created a textview and bound it to this attribute.

as you have done I used the following code to set data into it

DATA lo_el_context TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_element.

• get element via lead selection

lo_el_context = wd_context->get_element( ).

DATA: crlf(2) TYPE c,

lv_text TYPE string.

crlf = cl_abap_char_utilities=>cr_lf.

......

CONCATENATE 'aaaa' 'bbb' 'cc' 'd' INTO lv_text SEPARATED BY crlf.

lo_el_context->set_attribute(

EXPORTING

name = `TEXT`

value = lv_text ).

It works perfectly and I get output just as you want. Please check if you have followed all the steps, there is nothing wrong in the approach you have followed.

hi blake,

even i have tried it and it seems to work...

please check if you are missing any of the suggested steps...it could be as simple as not checking the WRAPPABLE property...

[shwetars · Accepted solution]

checking or unchecking the wrapping property doesn't make any difference

@ shwtha ::

checking wrappabble displays the text automatically in the next line when the width is exceeded on the screen else you need to manually scroll and see the text.......

correct me if i am wrong

@Rahul,

Wrapping is to display text in the next line only when the length exceeds the field length. In this case, he wants to force a newline character even without the text exceeding the length. So whether or not the wrapping property is checked does not matter.

@nithya

thx for the clarification

Hi Rahul,

your understanding is perfectly right.

what i meant was in this particular case it doesn't matter because he is anyways appending a carriage return character at the end of the text.

Also, you may have to check the "WRAPPABLE" option for text to automatically come to next line

hi blake,

text view can show a multiline text ...but it is "read only ".

if you want to edit also then you should go for textedit...
