Hi Joesph,

You have to pass the TEXT ID, LANGUAGE, NAME OF THE TEXT TO BE READ, OBJECT OF THE TEXT TO BE READ.

So you will get the lines of the text read in the TABLES parameter LINES.

A sample code for your kind perusal:-

data: begin of lt_tline occurs 0.
          include structure tline.
  data: end of lt_tline.
  data: l_tabix like sy-tabix.
  data: l_name like thead-tdname.

  sort it_kdgrp by spras kdgrp.

  loop at it_billing_docs into w_billing_docs.
    clear l_name.
    l_tabix = sy-tabix.
*-----Convert billing doc number to appropriate format
*    CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT'
*      EXPORTING
*        INPUT         = w_billing_docs-vbeln
*      IMPORTING
*        OUTPUT        = l_name.
*-----Move to correct format for read_text
    move w_billing_docs-vbeln to l_name.
    call function 'READ_TEXT'
         exporting
              client                  = sy-mandt
              id                      = 'Z012'
              language                = sy-langu
              name                    = l_name
              object                  = 'VBBK'
         tables
              lines                   = lt_tline
         exceptions
              id                      = 1
              language                = 2
              name                    = 3
              not_found               = 4
              object                  = 5
              reference_check         = 6
              wrong_access_to_archive = 7
              others                  = 8.
    if sy-subrc eq 0.
*----Only the first line will be read
      read table lt_tline index 1.
      if sy-subrc eq 0.
        w_billing_docs-bill_name = lt_tline-tdline.
      endif.
    endif.

Kindly set to resolved if it helps you.

Regards

Abhii

Just pass the parameter in the tables as I defined above. READ_TEXT will fill up this tables.

You might get a doubt from where to find out the values of TEXT ID, LANGUAGE, NAME OF THE TEXT TO BE READ, OBJECT OF THE TEXT TO BE READ.

Example : Say you have to read the Long text in the Sales Header. To find out above values do as below :-

1) Go to VA03 ,enter billing number & hit enter.

2) Click on Go to Menu.

3) Then Select HEADER.

4) Then Select TEXTS.

5) Double click on the long text ,you see there.

6) It will open SAP script text editor.

7) Then click on GO TO & select HEADER

😎 You will find TEXT NAME, LANGUAGE, TEXT ID, & TEXT OBJECT.

Kindly set to resolved if it helps you.

Regards

Abhii

Dear Abhii,

You deserve full credit for your replies, however, I should point out that you should no longer use the 'OCCURS x' language statement. Beside the fact that it is obsolete, you simply cannot use it in classes.

Re: call function -tables

Sm1tje — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 16:13:50 GMT

Joseph,

it is all there in Abhii's code:

Name of the table 'LT_LINES' (which is arbitrary).

Data declaration:


data: begin of lt_tline occurs 0.
          include structure tline.
  data: end of lt_tline.

What else do you need.

Hi Joseph,

The TABLES parameter passed while calling a Function module , combines the features of EXPORTING and IMPORTING parameters.

READ_TEXT will read the text maintained , and fill the itab passed in TABLES parameter. (Before calling FM, itab would be empty)

Let us know if you still face any issues.

Function module will return texts in LINES table. you need to pass your internal table here.

P.S. - Please see Function Module Documentation of READ_TEXT in SE37.

Table LINES should be of type TLINE.

DATA: t_lines TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF tline,

wa_lines TYPE tline. "work area

Use this table in your function call.

tables

lines = t_lines

CALL FUNCTION 'READ_TEXT'
 
EXPORTING
           ID = 'F01'
           LANGUAGE = 'E'
           " NAME = 'lv_name'
           NAME = lv_name
           OBJECT = 'EKPO'

This should be it ...

Hello,

Forget about the print out for the time being, debug the code & check if the table LT_TLINE is populated after READ_TEXT.

If values are populated, then we proceed.

Hi,

write the statement BREAK-POINT before calling your function module READ_TEXT.

Now check whether the input parameters are passed correctly or not.

Now execute the function module and then check the tables parameter whether any records are coming into this table.

hello Suhas,

i debugged and no values are populated in the table.

Re: call function -tables

SuhaSaha — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 10:21:01 GMT

Hello,

This means that the call of your READ_TEXT is incorrect.

You are trying to read the long text for which object?

BR,

Suhas
