This topic describes how to append the long text value that exceeds the 72 characters when working with text fields in SAP. You are limited to a maximum length of 72 characters per line. You can use the R-Split & Append Long Text Line(s) dynamic formula to split and append the long text value to a new line for the same line item when the source records contain multiple line items. For many t-codes, Process Runner will automatically configure this dynamic formula when you enter text in a long text field as part of the script recording process. The R-Split & Append Long Text Line(s) dynamic formula is only available for Transaction and BAPI Process files.
