Obatining Long text for Material BOM.
Hi,
Uaing an ABAP report I am currently extracting BOM details using the logical database CMC and the function 'READ TEXT' with the value of 'BOM' to obtain the long text.
However, using the LSMW object type (0030 - Material BOM) with the method (0004 - Long texts) I find that the long texts are actually only 72 characters long in the LSMW structures, whereas the text returned by the 'READ_TEXT' FM within my ABAP report are 132 characters long.
As you may have guessed by now I am extracting BOM data from one SAP system and inserting into another.
Dealing with the Item level long text looks straight forward enough, but there seem to be two long text structures for the Header level detail.
Does anyone have any idea why this is?

!---o BGR00 Batch Input Structure for Session Data
! The target structure BGR00 must be selected.

!---o BICSK Batch Input Structure for BOM Header Data
! The target structure BICSK must be selected.

!----LTEXT_BI Batch input structure for long texts
!----LTEXT_BI Batch input structure for long texts
!-o BICSP Batch Input Structure for BOM Item Data
! The target structure BICSP must be selected.

Hi
When we had to upload the long text for BOM, we write our own program for it, because whe had a bit to much problems with the Lsmw...
