When you are dealing with standard transactions it is always better to go for text objects.

Saving and Reading, Changing no extra coding needed.

For Standard Text Objects no Custom Code or Tables required to change or create.

All the text and related information will be saved in STXH and STXL tables

Hi Vijay,

Actually i am developing a totally new custom transaction. It deals with custom dialogs where user enters some values and they r stored in custom table. In this case, one of the screens needs one text edit control where user will enter any text, multiple lines. what is then the best way to store this data ?? sap text objs or in custom table ?

if sap text obj can u please let me know step by step how to do it?/? thks

If you can imitate the standard behaviour , then you don't need to code for text Table Save or Read.

no need of separate table. Using Function READ_TEXT, SAVE_TEXT and Table STXH and STXL for data saving.

Only thing you need to find is Creation of Textid and TextObject.
