HI,

see the example code below first use read_text function module to get value for header and then use edit_text

*...data needed for text display

DATA: BEGIN OF HTEXT,
        TDOBJECT     LIKE THEAD-TDOBJECT VALUE 'CCSS',
        TDID         LIKE THEAD-TDID,
        TDNAME       LIKE THEAD-TDNAME,
        TDSPRAS      LIKE THEAD-TDSPRAS,
      END OF HTEXT.

DATA: BEGIN OF TLINETAB OCCURS 0.
        INCLUDE STRUCTURE TLINE.
DATA: END OF TLINETAB.

DATA: L_THEAD LIKE THEAD,
      L_FUNCTION.


CALL FUNCTION 'READ_TEXT'
     EXPORTING
          ID       = HTEXT-TDID
          LANGUAGE = HTEXT-TDSPRAS
          OBJECT   = HTEXT-TDOBJECT
          NAME     = HTEXT-TDNAME
     IMPORTING
          HEADER   = L_THEAD
     TABLES
          LINES    = TLINETAB
     EXCEPTIONS
          OTHERS   = 1.

IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
  CALL FUNCTION 'EDIT_TEXT'
       EXPORTING
            HEADER    = L_THEAD
            DISPLAY   = 'X'
       IMPORTING
            NEWHEADER = L_THEAD

       TABLES
            LINES     = TLINETAB

HI pratyu,

yes you can use EDIT_TEXT to achieve this functionality.

It will open the lines same as sapscript editor.

just check and run the following program in 'SE38'. and you will be very clear about 'EDIT_TEXT'

RFMAIL01

OR copy and paste below test program for 'EDIT_TEXT'.

report z_test2.


DATA: LS_HEAD LIKE THEAD.

DATA: LT_LINES TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF TLINE
         WITH HEADER LINE.

DATA: LS_RESULT LIKE ITCER.
DATA: LS_CONTROL LIKE ITCED.
DATA: LD_TEXT(30) TYPE C.

START-OF-SELECTION.

  CALL FUNCTION 'READ_TEXT'

hi Pratyusha,

Yes you can use this method to achieve your functionality or else you can use SAVE_TEXT along with read table ..

Check ..

thanks for ur immediate replies,

once more clarification.

here i am doing a customised screen(say RFQ1), which is creation of RFQ's. and i save the data entered on the screen RFQ1 into Z tables, and LT is one of the field, for now the LT is CHAR50 , so how do i save it to the customised table. because user can enter multiple lines in SAP Script editor.

and thre is one more screen (say RFQ2) for viewing or changing the RFQ's. so user can change or only view RFQ, in this screen also i placed the LT button in tab ctrl, so in order to display the LT in RFQ2 screen should i use READ_TEXT.Please confirm?

if you can tell how me to SAVE the LT in Screen RFQ1 i can handle the other thing.

Thanks alot for ur support n time

HI Pratyu,

For Saving of your long text you don't need to use your ztable because it will make it difficult to handle.

Instead save the following information about text in your table

ID = '0001'

LANGUAGE = SY-LANGU

NAME = 'ASSIGNAR'

OBJECT = 'FB15'

and by using the above four you will be able to read long text form system.

For displaying long text i am not clear because there is no such Function module available.

I think the 'READ_TEXT' may work.

Regards,

Re: EDIT_TEXT

Former Member — Mon, 25 Sep 2006 06:51:57 GMT

Hi HRA,

So how do i handle the LT into my ztable? I have to do it.

can u plz explain me the code in bold?

Instead save the following information about text in your table

ID = '0001'

LANGUAGE = SY-LANGU

NAME = 'ASSIGNAR'

OBJECT = 'FB15'

Thanks

Pratyusha

Re: EDIT_TEXT

dani_mn — Mon, 25 Sep 2006 07:00:17 GMT

HI,

this information is about long text which is saved in sap with some id and this id is needed to identify the long text.

means we can identify long text from sap system by using these fields.

ID, LANGUAGE, NAME, OBJECT

Look into 'READ_TEXT' function module. what fields we need to read text. So if we have this information available we can read our long text from sap system.

So when you are creating long text generate a unique id for each text and save this id in ztable.

and then use this id to read text.

CALL FUNCTION 'READ_TEXT'

EXPORTING

ID = '0001'

LANGUAGE = SY-LANGU

NAME = 'ASSIGNAR'

OBJECT = 'FB15'

IMPORTING

HEADER = LS_HEAD

TABLES

LINES = LT_LINES.

Hope i am clear.

REgards,

Re: EDIT_TEXT

Former Member — Mon, 25 Sep 2006 07:04:10 GMT

So how do i generate the Unique ID and related it to my ztable.

Hope u got my requirement right?

Please help me in getting it done.

Thanks

Pratyusha

Re: EDIT_TEXT

dani_mn — Mon, 25 Sep 2006 07:15:17 GMT

HI,

it depends on you. what scheme may suits you.

you just need to generate NAME field for each of your text.

for first text.

ID = '0001'

LANGUAGE = SY-LANGU

NAME = '1'

OBJECT = 'FB15'

for second text

ID = '0001'

LANGUAGE = SY-LANGU

NAME = '2'

OBJECT = 'FB15'

select the maximum name assigned and increment 1 into it.

Former Member — Mon, 25 Sep 2006 08:32:58 GMT

No it did not solve the issue, my main problem is how to save the LT related to a RFQ and its items,

RFQ is the header

RFQ items are in table control and i need to maintain LT for each item. so how do i save the LT for each item in Z table?

Or else plz suggest me some other possibility.

Thanks alot for ur patience.
