Something I recently discovered that was very interesting to me is the impact of running the BAPI: BAPI_SERVNOT_CREATE on the long text.
I followed all the rules and made sure to enter in the text table with all the appropriate keys. What I didn’t find,anywhere is that depending on which long text you pick it will display differently in the notification. In the configuration for the notification, you can select from 3 different versions of the long text. Each of them behaves differently with the BAPI loaded text. Take a look at this for example:
if you select the “standard” longtext – 030

this is what you will see.
Next, take a look at the windows 32bit version – 031

Notice it shows as blank, but if you press the long text button next to it, you will see the following:

Finally, if you pick the webgui version – 033

You will see this version. All of them contain the text that I typed in, but for some version I had to jump through hoops to see it. So before you spend a lot of time checking your long text code to figure out why you can’t see it, make sure to check which long text is in your notification.
