READ_TEXT: format problem when printing to PDF

Former Member — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 06:57:55 GMT

Hello everybody,

I am using READ_TEXT function module to get long text then display to PDF format.

I met a problem with format as following:

The long text has bold format, for e.g.: This is bold text.

The READ_TEXT FM will then read the data as: <H>This is bold text.</>

When output to PDF instead of display as This is bold text., it is displaying <H>This is bold text.</>

Please suggest me how to fix this.

Thanks,

Khanh

Hi Andreas,

> use only field tline-TDLINE

What do you mean use only that field? This field stores the long text got from READ_TEXT form.

How can I do the format convert when display to PDF?

Thanks,

Khanh

Hi Khanh ,

Below is the sample code for your reference .

CALL FUNCTION 'READ_TEXT'

EXPORTING

CLIENT = SY-MANDT

ID = 'ZG01'

LANGUAGE = 'EN'

NAME = TH_INDATA_F01-VBELN_A

OBJECT = 'VBBK'

IMPORTING
HEADER =

TABLES

LINES = TD_LINE

EXCEPTIONS

ID = 1

LANGUAGE = 2

NAME = 3

NOT_FOUND = 4

OBJECT = 5

REFERENCE_CHECK = 6

WRONG_ACCESS_TO_ARCHIVE = 7

OTHERS = 8.

Here lines = td_line refers to Lines of text read

The table contains all text lines belonging to a text module. The line structure is defined in table TLINE. The line contents are stored in ITF format.

Hope this helps you .

Regards ,

Navya .

Hi all,

I have checked and found that the SAP standard print preview does not print the formatting.

I implemented as SAP standard by removing all formatting tags.

Thread closed.

Thanks all for your time.
