hi,

<b>if the field length in the data dictioray is unlimited .</b>

1.you need to create text object and link this object

with key fields of the table and reading this text and storing this text you need to use SAVE_TEXT and READ_TEXT fm's.

chk the sample code below.

1.create a text object using SE75 transaction .

2.Use FM : SAVE_TEXT to save this data with text object id.(data will be stored into STXH table).

3.Use READ_TEXT to retrive data.

sample code :

DATA: ws_thead LIKE thead,

i_tline LIKE TABLE OF tline WITH HEADER LINE.

data : x_matnr like mara-matnr.

c_mara(4) type c value 'MARA',

c_zid(4) type c value 'Z001'.

MOVE : x_matnr TO ws_thead-tdname, <-moving MATNR to store data

c_mara TO ws_thead-tdobject,

sy-langu TO ws_thead-tdspras,

c_zid TO ws_thead-tdid.

CALL FUNCTION 'SAVE_TEXT'

EXPORTING

client = sy-mandt

header = ws_thead

savemode_direct = 'X'

TABLES

lines = i_tline

EXCEPTIONS

id = 1

language = 2

name = 3

object = 4

OTHERS = 5.

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: lws_id LIKE thead-tdid,

lws_name LIKE thead-tdname,

lws_object LIKE thead-tdobject.

lws_id = c_zid.

lws_name = x_matnr. <- reading data using key field(MATNR)

lws_object = c_mara.

CALL FUNCTION 'READ_TEXT'

EXPORTING

client = sy-mandt

id = lws_id

language = sy-langu

name = lws_name

object = lws_object

TABLES

lines = li_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 <> 0.

MESSAGE ID sy-msgid TYPE sy-msgty NUMBER sy-msgno
WITH sy-msgv1 sy-msgv2 sy-msgv3 sy-msgv4.

ENDIF.

Hi Anversha s

Thanks for your Valuable inputs.However I'll like to explain you the whole Scenario. See I have the Standard Texts now I want to call this FM and read the standard Text this can be done with the help of this FM. How do I do this . And I'll store the read text in an Internal Table ...

If u need any Clarifications Most Welcome...:)
