SAVE_TEXT and READ_TEXT

Former Member — Mon, 17 Nov 2008 14:35:32 GMT

Hi all,

this is my problem: I need to store a long text in a DB and watching thread I've seen I have to use the FM in the title. I think I'm near to the solution, but I need some help to finish:

what I did is simply this:


" here I have to set the text I want to store
DATA text_table TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF tline.
DATA wa_line LIKE LINE OF text_table.
wa_line = 'line1'.
INSERT wa_line INTO TABLE text_table.
wa_line = line2'.
INSERT wa_line INTO TABLE text_table.
wa_line = 'line3'.
INSERT wa_line INTO TABLE text_table.
wa_line = 'line3.
INSERT wa_line INTO TABLE text_table.
wa_line = 'line4'.
INSERT wa_line INTO TABLE text_table.
wa_line = 'line5'.
INSERT wa_line INTO TABLE text_table.

" header element to pass to the save_text
DATA header TYPE thead.
header-tdid = '0001'.
header-tdname = 'TRYING'.
header-tdspras = 'EN'.


CALL FUNCTION 'SAVE_TEXT'
  EXPORTING
    header                = header
  tables
    lines                 = text_table.

But when I launch this report I get e message error saying "Text Object is not available" so I understand that probably there is a matchcode on another table and I would like to know how to set my own values in this table for text. I see also there is an

object

field that I don't know how to handle so an hint also for this would be great. I see that once set these values and call

SAVE_TEXT

, retrieve the text with

READ_TEXT

should be easy

thanks in advance.

You need to specifiy the OBJECT , ID, NAME for the save_text. Object would be the one where you are storing the Text, ie for standard text it is ST, for sales order headers it is VBBK and so on.

thanks

I see the error is because object field was not set. But ST doesn't work: if i fill with this value I get the same error: 'The object ST does not exist' (just now I understand that before was the object 'empty string' that was not found ). If I put VBBK I get no error, but I want to mantain a logical link to the type of text I am storing so:

how can I declare a generic text or better, how can I add a new type for object text so that I can create my own for my report?

thanks

what is this text you wanna save? either the texts are linked to a transaction in SAP, or to Standard Texts.

I semi-solved: was not the object ST, but tid; the object must be TEXT for standard text. I am already saving data and wathing them via STXH table, but now I have another problem; the working for the report is this:

1) user edit some text

2) user can save text (SAVE_TEXT)

3) user can watch text saved (READ_TEXT) ...

4) and modify it again (again SAVE_TEXT)

but for what I see, the data I set with first SAVE_TEXT are key for the table of text, and if I try to make SAVE_TEXT with same key, operation is ignored. So, is there a way to update text in STXH and a way to delete a text from it?

thanks for your help: your hints and questions are putting me on the right way

I am sure SAVE_TEXT will update the text if you are modifying that. try using commit text afterwards

I see gthe following functions and more in the same group. you can check these out for your issues

INCLUDE LSTXDU01. "READ_TEXT

INCLUDE LSTXDU02. "DELETE_TEXT

INCLUDE LSTXDU03. "INIT_TEXT

INCLUDE LSTXDU05. "EDIT_TEXT

INCLUDE LSTXDU06. "COMMIT_TEXT

INCLUDE LSTXDU07. "SELECT_TEXT

INCLUDE LSTXDU08. "SAVE_TEXT

INCLUDE LSTXDU09. "RENAME_TEXT

INCLUDE LSTXDU10. "READ_TEXT_INLINE

INCLUDE LSTXDU11. "EDIT_TEXT_INLINE
