Hi Mohit,

The name will be concatenation of SY-MANDT with order number (AUFK, AFKO tables. Field AUFNR).

Birendra

Dear Mohit,

To know what parameters need to be passed to the FM Read_text for any transaction got to the screen where your text is entered in the transaction (the Text Editor) and from the Menu select Goto -> Header . All the details that you need to pass are given here, those will give you an idea.

Regards,

Mrunal

Hi Mohit

you need to declare a variable of type 'thead-tdname' and cocatenate the value of order number from table AUFK in this variable and pass this variable in the NAME Parameter of the FM READ_TEXT.

before that you need to fetch the order number from table AUFK.

like :

DATA: W_ITEM type THEAD_TDLINE,

W_AUFNR like AUFNR,

W_MANDT like MANDT.

select MANDT AUFNR from AUFK into W_MANDT W_AUFNR.

concatenate w_mandt w_aufnr into W_ITEM.

call function READ_TEXT.

name = w_item.

language = 'EN'.

Language should be 'EN' for english not 'E'.

Thanks
