Hi Joesph,

You have to pass the TEXT ID, LANGUAGE, NAME OF THE TEXT TO BE READ, OBJECT OF THE TEXT TO BE READ.

So you will get the lines of the text read in the TABLES parameter LINES.

A sample code for your kind perusal:-

data: begin of lt_tline occurs 0.
          include structure tline.
  data: end of lt_tline.
  data: l_tabix like sy-tabix.
  data: l_name like thead-tdname.

  sort it_kdgrp by spras kdgrp.

  loop at it_billing_docs into w_billing_docs.
    clear l_name.
    l_tabix = sy-tabix.
*-----Convert billing doc number to appropriate format
*    CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT'
*      EXPORTING
*        INPUT         = w_billing_docs-vbeln
*      IMPORTING
*        OUTPUT        = l_name.
*-----Move to correct format for read_text
    move w_billing_docs-vbeln to l_name.
    call function 'READ_TEXT'
         exporting
              client                  = sy-mandt
              id                      = 'Z012'
              language                = sy-langu
              name                    = l_name
              object                  = 'VBBK'
         tables
              lines                   = lt_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 eq 0.
*----Only the first line will be read
      read table lt_tline index 1.
      if sy-subrc eq 0.
        w_billing_docs-bill_name = lt_tline-tdline.
      endif.
    endif.

Kindly set to resolved if it helps you.

thanks abhi,

that is my questions . i have to get the item text on GR-slip

i have written the code but i get stuck at

tables

lines =

what do i write after equal to sign and then what i declare in the data stmnt.

i have passed all the rest parametrs of item text like text id , name object etc.

it is just this one .

Just pass the parameter in the tables as I defined above. READ_TEXT will fill up this tables.

You might get a doubt from where to find out the values of TEXT ID, LANGUAGE, NAME OF THE TEXT TO BE READ, OBJECT OF THE TEXT TO BE READ.

Example : Say you have to read the Long text in the Sales Header. To find out above values do as below :-

1) Go to VA03 ,enter billing number & hit enter.

2) Click on Go to Menu.

3) Then Select HEADER.

4) Then Select TEXTS.

5) Double click on the long text ,you see there.

6) It will open SAP script text editor.

7) Then click on GO TO & select HEADER

😎 You will find TEXT NAME, LANGUAGE, TEXT ID, & TEXT OBJECT.

Kindly set to resolved if it helps you.

Dear Abhii,

You deserve full credit for your replies, however, I should point out that you should no longer use the 'OCCURS x' language statement. Beside the fact that it is obsolete, you simply cannot use it in classes.

[Sm1tje]

Joseph,

it is all there in Abhii's code:

Name of the table 'LT_LINES' (which is arbitrary).

Data declaration:

data: begin of lt_tline occurs 0.
          include structure tline.
  data: end of lt_tline.

What else do you need.

[Former Member]

Hi Mickey,

my code is

DATA : EBELP TYPE EBELP .
DATA : EBELN TYPE EBELN .
DATA : begin of lt_tline occurs 0.
          include structure tline.
DATA : end of lt_tline.

CLEAR lv_name.
CONCATENATE ebeln ebelp INTO lv_name.

CALL FUNCTION 'READ_TEXT'

EXPORTING
           ID = 'F01'
           LANGUAGE = 'E'
           NAME = 'lv_name'
           OBJECT = 'EKPO'

 TABLES
          LINES = lt_tline
          
EXCEPTIONS
          NOT_FOUND = 04.

when i check the print preview i get 00000 .

where am i wrong .

also if there are 5 line items , what sud be the loop.

Joseph

[SuhaSaha]

CALL FUNCTION 'READ_TEXT'
 
EXPORTING
           ID = 'F01'
           LANGUAGE = 'E'
           " NAME = 'lv_name'
           NAME = lv_name
           OBJECT = 'EKPO'

This should be it ...

[GauthamV]

data: lv_name like thead-tdname.

[Former Member]

thanks ,

i have declared it same way but it is giving 00000 in the print out

Hello,

Forget about the print out for the time being, debug the code & check if the table LT_TLINE is populated after READ_TEXT.

If values are populated, then we proceed.

print program is a standard program for m any smartforms , do i need to debugg the smartform , how do i do that

joseph

Hi,

write the statement BREAK-POINT before calling your function module READ_TEXT.

Now check whether the input parameters are passed correctly or not.

Now execute the function module and then check the tables parameter whether any records are coming into this table.

hello Suhas,

i debugged and no values are populated in the table.

joseph

[SuhaSaha]

Hello,

This means that the call of your READ_TEXT is incorrect.

You are trying to read the long text for which object?

BR,

Suhas

[Former Member]

i am trying to print item text on gr-slip

[SuhaSaha]

Check in debug mode what are the parameters you are passing to the FM. Is the variable LV_NAME populated correctly?

Is the language always 'E' ?

BR,

Suhas

[Former Member]

thanks ,

but i really dont know what to do . the parameters are id, object , language and name and wheni click on lv_name it is 00000.

it is taking the value of ebeln

is there any thing wrong with the data declaration of ebeln and ebelp .

see my code in the previous comments

joseph

[former_member217544]

Hi,

In your code:

DATA : EBELP TYPE EBELP .
DATA : EBELN TYPE EBELN .
DATA : begin of lt_tline occurs 0.
          include structure tline.
DATA : end of lt_tline.
 
CLEAR lv_name.
CONCATENATE ebeln ebelp INTO lv_name.

What are the values that you are passing in ebeln and ebelp ?

Are there any values passed to these two variables?

Regards,

Swarna Munukoti

[Former Member]

no , i m not passing any values .

[former_member217544]

Hi,

In your code lv_name is the combination of ebelp and ebeln.

When you are not passing any values to these variables, obviously lv_name contains 00000.

First of all, get the values for which you want to read the long text values. Pass that value to lv_name. And check.

What is the transaction you are using?

Regards,

Swarna Munukoti.

These are not training forums. Thread locked. Please post specific questions. And also note that Smartform/SAPScript questions go in the Form Printing forum.

Hi Joseph,

The TABLES parameter passed while calling a Function module , combines the features of EXPORTING and IMPORTING parameters.

READ_TEXT will read the text maintained , and fill the itab passed in TABLES parameter. (Before calling FM, itab would be empty)

Let us know if you still face any issues.

Function module will return texts in LINES table. you need to pass your internal table here.

P.S. - Please see Function Module Documentation of READ_TEXT in SE37.

Table LINES should be of type TLINE.

DATA: t_lines TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF tline,

wa_lines TYPE tline. "work area

Use this table in your function call.

tables

lines = t_lines
