Hello guys

I have to create a field in a table that holds a very long string of data (no maximum length known). Is there a way to handle this type of situation. If so what kind of field type should i be using.

Thanks

Ram

Hi,

I agree with the earlier rely, an ABAP developer can help you in this.

Hi Prashanth

I am an XI certified consultant with some self learning of abap and basis also. Because our company is small I am the only person incharge of our SAP work. So that is the reason I am using SDN's help in getting many of my questions answered and people have been very helpful here.

One of the members had suggested to use VARC type, but when I try to use it, it said that this is not supported anymore.

Hope to hear some feed back regarding this.

Tks

Ram,

If you tell this reqmt to the developer, he can easily create a field which can take long string of data.

Hi,

You need to use a text field. 20 characters will be fine. Inside this field, you enter a Text reference with &text... are you familiar with Text management ?

Rgds,
