Read_Text function Module not returning full text in a line

Former Member — Wed, 18 Mar 2009 08:50:06 GMT

Hi,

I am using Read_Text function module to retrieve long text entered for line item in AR Invoice.

The issue is that the lines returned in thead are not complete.

Example:

Line entered in Long Text is as below:

Line Number one in the accounting document. Entered as 800 EUR including

VAT

When I check in debugging the lines returned by Read_Text is as below:

Line Number one in the accounting document. Entered as 800 EUR includi

VAT

The 'ng' of including in 1st line is not returned by read_text. The text 'ng' in line editor is placed in the position as shown below just after 7

........1........2........3........4........5........6....+....7..

Kindly let me know if there is any way to get the whole line or a way in which we can restrict the line size alowed to enter till 7 only.

Warm Regards,

Abhishek

Hi,

Declare it_lines as below and use in code:



TYPES: BEGIN OF ws_tline.
        INCLUDE STRUCTURE tline.
TYPES: END OF ws_tline.


DATA:  it_lines TYPE ws_tline.

    CALL FUNCTION 'READ_TEXT'
      EXPORTING
*
*
      TABLES
        lines                         =  *it_lines*
*   EXCEPTIONS

              .
    IF sy-subrc <> 0.
* MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
*         WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
    ENDIF.

Please check item text going through standard SAP transaction. It might happen that this text is entered in two separate lines. Else I do not see you should get this error.

Hi Sunil,

Thanks for your comments.

I have checked the item line. In place of item text a long text is maintained. It is this long text which needs to be displayed. I opened the long text and saw the saved lines. The word including does not spread to the next line, yet it is not retunred full in lines of thead.

Warm Regards,

Abhishek

Hi,

The issue is resolved. It was a basis setting error. Through basis settings the size of line returned in tline can be controlled. Sometimes after upgrade or unicode project the line size increases, if this happens then it needs to be reduced by the basis person.
