READ_TEXT

Former Member — Thu, 29 Dec 2005 06:40:22 GMT

Hi all,

I've been reading some of the earlier threads on READ_TEXT FM and so far i have only managed to find out what fields i need:

CLIENT = SY-MANDT

ID = 'BEST'

LANGUAGE = 'EN'

OBJECT = 'MATERIAL'

As for NAME, i know that i want to send the Material Code (ITAB-MATNR) to the call function, but how do i do it?

This is to extract the PO Material Text and be filled into ITAB-MAT_TXT which i have defined...

Where do i go from here?

Hi Bernard,

1. The main parameter is

NAME LIKE THEAD-TDNAME

Could you elaborate more on that abit?

Re: READ_TEXT

Former Member — Thu, 29 Dec 2005 07:01:07 GMT

Hi again,

1. It is nothing but a normal

character value.

2. ie. in your case it should be the

material number.

3. Like in case of purchase order,

client = sy-mandt

id = 'F96'

language = 'E'

name = ITAB-EBELN

object = 'EKKO'

NAME = PURCHASE ORDER NUMBER

ID = DIFFERENT KIND OF TEXTS IN A PURCHASE ORDER

(eg. delivery text, terms and conditons,

shipment remarks)

Regards,

Amit M.

Hi Bernard,

For NAME ...

Goto the text editor, double click on it.

on the menu bar

GOTO-> header You will find the name there.

Use the same name to pass to the FM READ_TEXT.

Hope it helps...

If that is the case, how do i move the text that was retrieved into ITAB-MAT_TXT?

Do i do a LOOP?

Re: READ_TEXT

Former Member — Thu, 29 Dec 2005 07:28:15 GMT

Hi again,

1. ur last statment is not clear

2. using READ_TEXT

we will not get a single line text.

3. The parameter in this FM

LINES

is/should be an internal table.

4. All the data which has been entered

(possible in more than one lines)

will be retrieved in this internal table.

(I hope u are not talking about the

simple material decription text . )

regards,

amit m.

CALL FUNCTION 'READ_TEXT'
         EXPORTING
              id       = 'Z001'
              language = sy-langu
              name     = name
              object   = 'VTTK'
         TABLES
              lines    = lines
         EXCEPTIONS
              OTHERS   = 1.

lines is internal table, so you need to loop and fill.

  LOOP AT lines.
    WRITE: 1   sy-vline,
           35  sy-vline,
           36  lines-tdline,
           109 sy-vline,
          /1   space.
  ENDLOOP.

Then what about the SELECT statement?

I've did a SELECT * FROM STXH before calling it. Should i add in some conditions to the SELECT?

Re: READ_TEXT

Former Member — Thu, 29 Dec 2005 07:57:56 GMT

no need of select, why are you selecting,

and what for..?

if you are selecting for tdobject,tdname,tdid then ok.

pass then to FM.

and do the above..

Since i want to retrieve the PO Material Text for each individual Material Number (ITAB-MATNR) that is in ITAB, would i need to do a LOOP to MOVE the PO Material Text that was retrieved into ITAB before the WRITE statement?

Re: READ_TEXT

Former Member — Thu, 29 Dec 2005 08:39:26 GMT

yeah exactly..

you loop that and move the text for each material you need to repeat the same process.

Hi again,

1. It simply means that

the variable which u passed

to the FM

is not declared in the SAME WAY

as declared in the FM definition se37.

2. Check out the way

u have declared the variables.

3. Also check the error message in detail.

it will also tell which parameter/variable

is not proper.

Re: READ_TEXT

Former Member — Thu, 29 Dec 2005 09:10:16 GMT

hi bernard,

when callling the function module, ypou might be passing a text name TDNAME like material number, which should be declared like THEAD-TDNAME, declare a variable v_name like thead-tdname. Then move matnr to this field. Pass V_NAME to function module's name.

Similarly u will pass an object like VBBK or VBBP which should also declared as THEAD-OBJECTID .

Just declare all the fields that you are passing as type of the READ_TEXT FM values. This is a requisite for all FMs that u will use.

Re: READ_TEXT

Former Member — Thu, 29 Dec 2005 09:10:37 GMT

just show the code

how you are calling FM ,

give declarations also..

just see my post and copy the FM and pass appropriate values.

Re: READ_TEXT

Former Member — Thu, 29 Dec 2005 09:16:01 GMT

can u describe ur error analuysis?

I think the problem is with ur declarations. declare like below and use these variables to pass to read_text

DATA:V_TDOBJECT LIKE THEAD-TDOBJECT,

V_TDNAME LIKE THEAD-TDNAME,

V_TDID LIKE THEAD-TDID,

I_LINES LIKE TLINE OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE.

Move ur matne to the V_TDNAME , move the TDID appropriatelu and the TDOBJECt . these details u can pick up from the header of your long text. Click on the longtext and goto--> header, here you will find the id which will be client, TD object,tdid,tdname concatenated together... use these in the variuablkes and call the FM.

Hope this helps.
