Saving text editor

Former Member — Tue, 22 Jan 2008 02:30:00 GMT

I learnt that I will need to use SAVE_TEXT module to save what is inside my text editor with the codes as follows:

CALL FUNCTION 'SAVE_TEXT'

EXPORTING CLIENT = SY-MANDT

HEADER = ?...

INSERT = SPACE

SAVEMODE_DIRECT = SPACE

OWNER_SPECIFIED = SPACE

IMPORTING FUNCTION =

NEWHEADER =

TABLES LINES = ?...

EXCEPTIONS ID =

LANGUAGE =

NAME =

OBJECT =

For the line of code TABLE LINES = ?, what should I put for the ? to store the value of what is in the text editor?

May I ask if someone can give me examples of SAVE_TEXT for text editor?

Points will be given to any answer that can somehow answer my questions.

Hi,

To determine the values for HEADER, Use menupath: Goto->Header in editor.

Over here, you will find details like Name, Object, Language and ID.

Observe the pattern for Name, it depends on the object. ( for sales order item it can be: <sales order number + item number).

Pass these information to the structure of type THEAD and use the same for FM: SAVE_TEXT.

Then how about my TABLE LINES = ? code? What should I put at ? to store my text editor?

This is the Bare minimum required parameters for SAVE_TEXT

CALL FUNCTION 'SAVE_TEXT'

EXPORTING

HEADER = XTHEAD

SAVEMODE_DIRECT = 'X'

TABLES

LINES = TLINES.

Now going back to your question.

You have to pass the Internal table TLINES with the Text that needs to be saved inTables Parameter LINES

Hope this Helps

TABLE_LINES will store the text content of your editor.

Field TDLINE will have the content and TDFORMAT is to store paragraph format if any.

So TDLINE and TDFORMAT is the default field names of my text editor?

Here is a sample with reference to my example in my first post

XTHEAD-tdobject = 'VBBK'.

XTHEAD-tdname = delivery number.

XTHEAD-tdspras = language.

XTHEAD-tdid = text id. "for example: Z022

Tlines-tdformat = '*'.

Tlines-tdline = your text that you want to write .

Hope this helps

How am I going to save my text editor? From what I see your codes, you used non-text editor to save.

Yes JuzMe

TDFORMAT and TDLINE are from editor.

So I tried my codes in the SAVE-TEXT FM as:

TABLES

LINES = TDLINE

But i need to declare TDLINE first? Any example of declaration for me to refer?

Check below example:


DATA: st_head TYPE thead,
      i_tline TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF tline,
      wa_tline TYPE tline.

CALL FUNCTION 'SAVE_TEXT'
  EXPORTING
    header          = st_head
    savemode_direct = 'X'
  TABLES
    lines           = i_tline.

Declare

DATA: XTHEAD LIKE THEAD .

DATA: TLINES LIKE TLINE OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE.

I tried the codes provided. But I could not really save it to my database. How am i suppose to do that?

My table name is ZPROGRAM_TABLE and I want to save what is in the text editor into the column name called PROGRAM_CODE. How am I suppose to modify the save text accordingly to be able to save to my table?
