Re: Message long text (SE91) and max number of parameters

SE91 and MESSAGE statements only accept 4 variables in short text, but long text may also contain some system variables like &SY-DATUM& and (less known) some customer defined variables.

Create a message with a long text : add some variables in it, e.g. &V1&, &SY-DATUM& and &TEST&

Now before the message statement, pass the customer variable (to SapScript actually)

  lv_name = '&TEST&'.   lv_var = 'This is a test'.   CALL FUNCTION 'SET_TEXTSYMBOL'     EXPORTING       name         = lv_name       value        = lv_var       value_length = 30.   MESSAGE s001(zrgs) WITH 'A' 'BB' 'CCC' 'DDDD'.

Now double click on message (or use an Information type to trigger popup) and your &TEST& will be replaced with the short text.

PS: As the variable are temporary stored in memory, if you use this trick in a background job, they will no longer appear during log display ()
