The structure tline is used by the fm to return the text. tline-tdline is length 132 characters so I guess that is the maximum it is going to return.

Hi,

under detail of structure tline

TDFORMAT 1 Type TDFORMAT CHAR 2 0 Colonna formato

TDLINE 1 Type TDLINE CHAR 132 0 Riga testo

So, maximum length is 132 char

Hello Deepak,

The READ_TEXT will return you as a table of TD_LINE where each line is 132 char length.

So the maximum length as you see number of lines it returns....

Hi Deepak,

Out put length of read_text fm is 132 char you can check like this

using abap code you can get header text,

Try like this

CALL FUNCTION 'READ_TEXT'
EXPORTING
client   = sy-mandt
id       = ls_stxl-tdid
language = sy-langu
name     = ls_stxl-tdname
object   = 'EKPO '
TABLES
lines    = it_lines.
*    IF sy-subrc <> 0.
** MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
**          WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
*    ENDIF.

DATA : v_line TYPE string.
LOOP AT it_lines INTO ls_lines.
CONCATENATE v_line ls_lines-tdline INTO v_line.
ENDLOOP.

Hi DEEPAK BISHT

Length is 132 only

Read_text fm will return all the values in tline

there you put a loop and append it some other internal table as per your requirement

for your info see the below screen shot also read the documentation for that fm

Use Include Text Node instead of READ_TEXT function; it could save your time. Just identify:

Text name = <Invoice Number> (surround by &; e.g. &0900000001&)
Text object = VBBK
Text ID = <should give by your consultant>

Don't forget to check on box "No error if no text exists".

Hi,

table contains all text lines belonging to a text module.

I think that there are not lines limitation.

Hi Deepak,

It is an internal table with 132 characters per line.

Similar to an Internal table it has no limitation to the maximum number of lines

For more Information create a text in SO10 and read the same with the FM you will have a better idea.
