Hi,

see this example

TABLES: PBIM.

* stxh, stxl, stxb - trans tables for text
* ttxit - text on text-ids
* ttxot - Short texts on text objects
* Transaction MD63
SELECT-OPTIONS: S_MATNR FOR PBIM-MATNR,
                S_WERKS FOR PBIM-WERKS.

DATA: BEGIN OF HTEXT.
        INCLUDE STRUCTURE THEAD.
DATA: END OF HTEXT.

DATA: BEGIN OF LTEXT OCCURS 50.
        INCLUDE STRUCTURE TLINE.
DATA: END OF LTEXT.

DATA: BEGIN OF DTEXT OCCURS 50.
DATA:   MATNR LIKE PBIM-MATNR.
        INCLUDE STRUCTURE TLINE.
DATA: END OF DTEXT.

DATA: TNAME LIKE THEAD-TDNAME.

SELECT * FROM PBIM WHERE WERKS IN S_WERKS.
  MOVE PBIM-BDZEI TO TNAME.
  CALL FUNCTION 'READ_TEXT'
       EXPORTING
*           CLIENT                  = SY-MANDT
          ID                      = 'PB'
          LANGUAGE                = 'E'
          NAME                    = TNAME
          OBJECT                  = 'PBPT'
*         ARCHIVE_HANDLE          = 0
     IMPORTING
          HEADER                  = HTEXT
     TABLES
          LINES                   = LTEXT
     EXCEPTIONS
          ID                      = 1
          LANGUAGE                = 2
          NAME                    = 3
          NOT_FOUND               = 4
          OBJECT                  = 5
          REFERENCE_CHECK         = 6
          WRONG_ACCESS_TO_ARCHIVE = 7
          OTHERS                  = 8.
  LOOP AT LTEXT.
    IF LTEXT-TDLINE NE ''.
      MOVE LTEXT-TDLINE TO DTEXT-TDLINE.
      MOVE PBIM-MATNR TO DTEXT-MATNR.
      APPEND DTEXT.
    ENDIF.
  ENDLOOP.
ENDSELECT.
LOOP AT DTEXT.
  WRITE:/ DTEXT-MATNR, DTEXT-TDLINE.
ENDLOOP.

READ_TEXT

READ_TEXT provides a text for the application program in the specified work areas.

The function module reads the desired text from the text file, the text memory, or the archive. You must fully specify the text using OBJECT, NAME, ID, and LANGUAGE. An internal work area can hold only one text; therefore, generic specifications are not allowed with these options.

After successful reading, the system places header information and text lines into the work areas specified with HEADER and LINES.

If a reference text is used, SAPscript automatically processes the reference chain and provides the text lines found in the text at the end of the chain. If an error occurs, the system leaves the function module and triggers the exception REFERENCE_CHECK.

Hope this helps, Do reward.

Hi,

Read_text fm is used to get text from sap and place that text into the our internal table. we get the data in internal table and place this data in sap script..etc.

Ex:

If u want get text written sales order item level. Use the follwing

code:

The Object field what we given in Read_text FM varied from header level and item level.

DATA : name TYPE thead-tdname,

g_tline TYPE TABLE OF tline WITH HEADER LINE,

it_vbap TYPE TABLE OF vbap WITH HEADER LINE.

vbeln = vbak-vbeln.

select * from vbap into

table it_vbap where vbeln = vbeln.

CONCATENATE vbeln it_vbap-posnr INTO name.

CONDENSE name.

CALL FUNCTION 'READ_TEXT'

EXPORTING

client = sy-mandt

id = 'Z001'

language = sy-langu

name = name

object = 'VBBP'

TABLES

lines = g_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 0.

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

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

ENDIF.

CALL FUNCTION 'FORMAT_TEXTLINES'

EXPORTING

cursor_column = 0

cursor_line = 0

endline = 99999

formatwidth = 45

linewidth = 45

startline = 1

language = sy-langu

IMPORTING

NEW_CURSOR_COLUMN =

NEW_CURSOR_LINE =

TABLES

lines = g_tline

EXCEPTIONS

BOUND_ERROR = 1

OTHERS = 2

.

IF sy-subrc 0.

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

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

ENDIF.

g_tline : having text data in salesorder item level.

Whatever data we got is not properly formated. U can format the data using the FM:Format_Textlines

The Object field in Read_text FM Stores in table:TTXOB.

U see the function module documentation for the Read_text fm.

Finding parameters to pass in read_text fm:

U can go to va02,

give sales order number,

click on item number,

goto the Texts tab.

One big box is there. Place the cursor and double click

select the Goto menu/ Header .

If select the item Header.

It will shows thew Text name , Language,Text id and Text object.

If it is helpful rewards points
