Formatted Output from READ_TEXT

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I am using a Text Edit (Webdynpro UI Element) to get the input. The value is the converted to GUID Text and stored in the DB.

In another screen, I want to display that value. I am using READ_TEXT FM for converting GUID to string.

The problem that I am facing is that I am getting the input as a single paragraph and not with the formatting (as paragraphs) that the user has made when giving inputs. The output is just a single para.

Is there any way to read the text with formatting?

Hi,

Use the function module "FORMAT_TEXTLINES" to format the text retrieved using READ_TEXT

data : it_lines_sp type standard table of tline,
        call function 'FORMAT_TEXTLINES'
          exporting
            cursor_column = 0
            cursor_line   = 0
            endline       = 99999
            formatwidth   = 40
            linewidth     = 40
            startline     = 1
            language      = sy-langu
          tables
            lines         = it_lines_sp.
