To type long text

Updated May 18, 2018

Dear All,

I want to type more than 300 characters in a text box which is created in screen painter for my Module pool program.

Please suggest me. I used scrollable but it accepts only 255 characters. I want the textbox width to be expanded like below

Regards,

FUNCTION:READ_ TEXT, EDIT_TEXT, SAVE_TEXT

ECC6: PROGRAM: SAPTEXTEDIT_ TEST_1

or: report

Try Using Read_Text,write_ text.

I have used in BDCs above two function modules.
I am not sure of using them in module pools.

I think U have seen a Long text button in SAP predefined screens. In the same way U need put a button and Have to call a Editor for typing a Long text i.e., More than 255 characters. And in the Table It should be a reference field to the calling editor. And also while displaying U need to code in the same manner using Methods. Please try this. This is the Only Procedure available for that.
