Hi,

In the SE37 also, the function module is not showing the values.but in iw33 the component consist of long text.

even the code is working proper when the function module displays the text.

Thanks,

Amit.

Hi,

you use function module CREATE_TEXT, to upload long text.

Hi Amit,

check entry in table STXH with your input directly .

if it shows value then it should read by FM READ_TEXT.

Feel free to ask if you have any doubts.

Hi Amit again,

I am surprised with your issue.

I will again suggest that.

after passing all required values to Fm Read_text, check Sy-subrc.

if sy-subrc = 0.

then there must be some text.

go to return table tline.

check the table.

Hi Amit,

The problem is with the READ_TEXT.

If your long text is just one line and it is less than 41 characters , the READ_TEXT cannot read that as longtext, instead it

will consider as SHORT TEXT thus it wiill never retrieve the long text.

Hope this will help you.

handle read_text like this

PARAMETERS:P_VBELN1 LIKE THEAD-TDNAME,

LANGU LIKE THEAD-TDSPRAS,

ID LIKE THEAD-TDID,

OBJECT LIKE THEAD-TDOBJECT.

CALL FUNCTION 'READ_TEXT'

EXPORTING

• CLIENT = SY-MANDT

ID = ID

LANGUAGE = LANGU

NAME = P_VBELN1

OBJECT = OBJECT

• ARCHIVE_HANDLE = 0

• LOCAL_CAT = ' '

• IMPORTING

• HEADER =

TABLES

LINES = LINE1

• 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 <> 0.

• MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO

• WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.

ENDIF.

Hi,

Use conversion exit for name in function module, conver this name value in to upper case.

check this sample program,

it works for long text less than 40 characters also.

pass name1 in to conversion exit

CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT'

EXPORTING

INPUT = NAME1

IMPORTING

OUTPUT = NAME1.

TRANSLATE NAME1 TO UPPER CASE.

CALL FUNCTION 'READ_TEXT'

EXPORTING

ID = ID

LANGUAGE = LANGUAGE

NAME = NAME1

OBJECT = OBJECT

TABLES

LINES = LI_LINE

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 = 0.

LOOP AT LI_LINE.

GI_FINAL-SO_TEXT = LI_LINE-TDLINE.

MOVE:GI_MVKE-MATNR TO GI_FINAL-MATNR,

GI_MVKE-VKORG TO GI_FINAL-VKORG,

GI_MVKE-VTWEG TO GI_FINAL-VTWEG.

APPEND GI_FINAL.

CLEAR GI_FINAL.

ENDLOOP.

ENDIF.
