Include Text not to 'include' everything

[Former Member]

Hey Folks,

Here is a SmartForm question for ya.

My users are always asking for the unusual. They have a request for me to make a form that includes the long text from an inspection characteristic. Ok, no problem. Wait, they don't want the whole text, just the text from line 2 on. Ok, no problem. Wait, but they still want it formatted the way that it is in the long text. Now I have a problem. If I use the 'Include Text' I can't see how to get all the text minus line 1. If I use a Text Element' I can strip off the first line, but I don't have the option to read tags that use the SAPStyle. I've been banging my head...any ideas? Can I somehow 'cover' or 'scroll' the first line of the 'Include' Text off of the screen? Can I somehow get the 'Text Element' to format using tags? <B></B> stuff like that. Any suggestions would be appreciated, and of course rewarded because everyone loves that.

Thanks,

Greg

Hi,

TABLES: PBIM.

• stxh, stxl, stxb - trans tables for text

• ttxit - text on text-ids

• ttxot - Short texts on text objects

• Transaction MD63

SELECT-OPTIONS: S_MATNR FOR PBIM-MATNR,

S_WERKS FOR PBIM-WERKS.

DATA: BEGIN OF HTEXT.

INCLUDE STRUCTURE THEAD.

DATA: END OF HTEXT.

DATA: BEGIN OF LTEXT OCCURS 50.

INCLUDE STRUCTURE TLINE.

DATA: END OF LTEXT.

DATA: BEGIN OF DTEXT OCCURS 50.

DATA: MATNR LIKE PBIM-MATNR.

INCLUDE STRUCTURE TLINE.

DATA: END OF DTEXT.

DATA: TNAME LIKE THEAD-TDNAME.

SELECT * FROM PBIM WHERE WERKS IN S_WERKS.

MOVE PBIM-BDZEI TO TNAME.

CALL FUNCTION 'READ_TEXT'

EXPORTING

• CLIENT = SY-MANDT

ID = 'PB'

LANGUAGE = 'E'

NAME = TNAME

OBJECT = 'PBPT'

• ARCHIVE_HANDLE = 0

IMPORTING

HEADER = HTEXT

TABLES

LINES = LTEXT

EXCEPTIONS

ID = 1

LANGUAGE = 2

NAME = 3

NOT_FOUND = 4

OBJECT = 5

REFERENCE_CHECK = 6

WRONG_ACCESS_TO_ARCHIVE = 7

OTHERS = 8.

LOOP AT LTEXT where sy-tabix > 1.

IF LTEXT-TDLINE NE ''.

MOVE LTEXT-TDLINE TO DTEXT-TDLINE.

MOVE PBIM-MATNR TO DTEXT-MATNR.

APPEND DTEXT.

ENDIF.

ENDLOOP.

ENDSELECT.

LOOP AT DTEXT.

WRITE:/ DTEXT-MATNR, DTEXT-TDLINE.

ENDLOOP.

Change this code and write progrma lines in form and it will solve your problem

Thanks Shiva, interestingly this is almost exactly what I had already done. So I take off the first line and fill a globally defined table (for me gt_lines, for you dtext). Then in the smartform I created a loop and within that loop created a text node...this is where I'm stuck...if I use an "Text Element" type of text node it doesn't have formatting. Is there a way to do a text node that recognizes the formatting? my table gt_lines is just like your table dtext...any ideas on the output itself? My "Text Element" text node has WA_LINES-TDLINE as the output. (WA_LINES is filled in the loop by GT_LINES). Should I be doing something with WA_LINES-TDFORMAT??

Your insight is appreciated.

Ok...I found this thread which talks about 'DYNAMIC' text. I was trying to get the 'INCLUDE' text or the text 'ELEMENT' to do what I wanted, when I should have used the DYNAMIC text.

hi

if u know from which character No. ur second line begins then try to use this

let F1 is field of ITAB which have long text

then write as &ITAB-F1+(N)&

Note : where N is integer value from where second line starts

like &ITAB-F1+(10)&

OR

post table and field name of required field

reward if helpful.
