Read Text Problem

Former Member — Wed, 11 Feb 2009 04:48:00 GMT

Hi All,

I am using the function module Read_text for fetching the Purchase order text for a material using the id as BEST and object as MATERIAL.Problem occurs whenever there is & in the text it returns a different value.

For example actual text is -- Order for 1 pencil & 1 pen

Read text will give -- Order for 1 pencil <(>&<)> 1 pen

How can I get the actual text.

Regards

Lalit

you need to pass correct ID, LANGUAGE and OBJECT and using the correct type for lines paramater

also try using read_text_inline

Thanks

HI frend,

Well the Read_text module picks the & character from Database in the way u have mentioned.

If u want to upload it somewhere again,then I can tell you that Create_text FM again removes these extra characters and jsut gives &.

So i suppose your problem is solved if u want to upload it somewhere else.
