One option is to EXPORT the text to a mmemory id after reading the text in the external subroutine and IMPORT the text from the memory id in the SAP script editor .

Hi,

Place the read_text in the report program and assign a field that will hold the text.

Example, I named it as tdline. now, in the sapscript form, put in &TDLINE&. It will now

show the value of tdline.

Regards!

P.S. Please award points for useful answers.

Simple and the most often used way is to get the value into a variable and print it in the script.

In the external subroutine write the statement

CALL FUNCTION 'READ_TEXT'

exporting

object

name

langu

TABLES

lines = itab

EXPORT itab TO MEMORY-ID 'TXT'.

and after calling the external subroutine(I guess u r calling this in the script editor)

IMPORT itab FROM MEMORY-ID 'TXT.

This is one way of solving ur problem...

Hi ravi,

why are you using the READ_TEXT Fm.

you can directly include the text using include text option.

INCLUDE TEXT1 OBJECT TEXT ID ST

TEXT1 is Name

TEXT is Object

ST is ID.

you can find these from Insert->Text->Standard text

No vijay,

I've finished the O/P using Include..., but client wants to display the text after some space.

Ex: REMARKS: Goods not Received.

Goods not Received is the text taken from the text editor in Me21n

Hi Ravi,

get the Text from Me21 using Read_Text.

write a routine to concatenate the out put with contant character for eg: concatenate 'Remarks: ' Read_text-output_value into temp_variable.

print the temp_variable.

CALL FUNCTION 'READ_TEXT'

EXPORTING

CLIENT = SY-MANDT

ID = 'F01'

LANGUAGE = SY-LANGU

NAME = 4100000016

OBJECT = 'EKKO'

ARCHIVE_HANDLE = 0
LOCAL_CAT = ' '
IMPORTING
HEADER =

TABLES

LINES = ITAB

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 <> 0.

MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.

ENDIF.

Hi Ravi,

To get the text using function module you need to have that text saved in standard text format.and in export parameters ID, Language Name and Object u have to pass then u will get text in LINES parameter.But for this u need all the above export parameters.
