The Function Module READ_TEXT reads the standard texts into internal tables which is stored in STXH/STXL tables.

Hi,

Standard texts are created in SO10 Transaction.

and most of the Std transactions contain Header and Item texts.

to retrive these Std texts from the Relative transactions we use the fun module READ_TEXT by passing the TEXT ID, OBJECT,NAME and LANGUAGE fields to it.

reward if useful

ANJI

All the long text can be retrieve using this function module.

In the real time, we use READ_TEXT functions to read the SAP long text.

E.g. Sales Order, Purchase Order Item text etc.

Example of READ_TEXT functions reading tables PBIM - Independent requirements for material.

Hi,

READ_TEXT function module used to read the standard text. This text can either be create using transaction SO10 or can be text in any documents like PO header text, Sales order header text, Sales order line item text, Accounting document header text.

See this example to understand how the text is read. Here the FM is used to read the "header note" text from sales document

*----------------------------------------------------------------------*
*----------------------------------------------------------------------*
DATA: l_objname LIKE thead-tdname,
      l_vbeln   LIKE vbak-vbeln.

DATA: lit_textline  LIKE tline OCCURS 10 WITH HEADER LINE.

*" move sales document number
l_vbeln = 'Pass Sales document number here'.
l_objname = l_vbeln.

*" Read text
CALL FUNCTION 'READ_TEXT'
     EXPORTING
          client   = sy-mandt
          id       = '0001'
          language = sy-langu
          name     = l_objname
          object   = 'VBBK'
     TABLES
          lines    = lit_textline.
