DIR Long Text in PLM Web UI

[former_member393433]

Hello Gurus,

For reporting I need to retrieve the Texts in the long text field of the DIR from the PLM Webui screen.

I would like to know if there is any method that I can use to retrieve the text characters.

Kindly advice.

Thanks & Regards

Jo

You could use BAPI_DOCUMENT_GETTEXTS, if my memory serves me correctly BAPI_DOCUMENT_GETDETAIL has the capability too.

Hi Samuli,

Thank you very much for your answer. I would also like to know how I can retrieve the Long Text of the attached Documents in the ER.

Please see the below screen shot of long text in the ER screen

Those long texts are linked to the ER, you can enter long texts for other objects as well. The Web UI uses /PLMU/WDC_LTX_DO to handle long texts. Going from the SP to the BO you will find out that the standard READ_TEXT and SAVE_TEXT function modules are used. The relevant parameters are TDID = ECRI, TDOBJECT = /PLMB/ECRI and TDNAME = <ECR GUID> + INDEX for the text 001 ... 999.
