Hi

You can't see the texts

but they are stored in STXL table in the field

CLUSTD

it is a LRAW type field with 7902 characters

so it is not visisble to see in SE11/SE16 tcodes

Look at STXH and STXL header and lines

STXH - STXD SAPscript text file header - is a transparent tabme

STXL - STXD SAPscript text file lines - is a cluster table of course.

For more details look at <a href="http://help.sap.com/printdocu/core/Print46c/en/data/pdf/BCSRVSCRPROG/BCSRVSCRPROG.pdf">BC SAPscript: Printing with Forms</a> page 79 "Storing Text Components"

<i><b>STXH: Store text header</b>

The text header is stored in the transparent table STXH. This table contains both the text headers of SAPscript texts and of texts with other formats. When reading the table, the system copies this information into the corresponding fields of structure THEAD, which is the basic structure of the internal work area of the text header.

<b>STXL: Store text lines in ITF format</b>

Table STXL stores the text lines of a text in ITF format [Seite 63]. This is a non-transparent table, which can be accessed using IMPORT FROM DATABASE / EXPORT TO DATABASE. The text lines are stored in compressed form.

<b>STXB: Store text lines in other formats</b>

If in field TDTEXTTYPE of the text header a text format appears, the text module has a non-SAPscript format. The lines of such texts are stored in table STXB. This table can also store non-representable characters (HEX codes < SPACE). STXB is a non-transparent table, which can be accessed using IMPORT FROM DATABASE / EXPORT TO DATABASE. The text lines are stored in compressed form.</i>

Is there any program that converts these texts into an excel file?
