    Hi Jane

    Thank you for reaching out. Which BAPI are you using to upload the Text?

    When using a BAPI to load long text, having 264 characters in Excel can sometimes result in a cut-off at 131 characters. The Long Text feature in Transaction works well for loading the text.
    Is it possible to use the T-code? I believe you are using VAXX ? If so, you can use one of the following methods
    Use the "Add Long Text" Feature if you have AFM installed.
    When you use the Add Long Text command after you finish recording, Studio Transaction places the added fields below the other fields in the Mapper, where you can map them to the data file.

    Or you can use the Break Text into 72-Character Lines approach 
    You will need to ensure the Editor is set to Text Editor, then follow the steps below.
