How to retrieve the basic data text in material master to SAPSCRIPT?

[Former Member]

Besides using the function module READ_TEXT in the calling program, what alternatives are there if I don't want to modify the program but make changes in the sapscript only?

I've tried to use the include statement in the sapscript editor, but I don't know how to call the text object whose ID is GRUN, object is MATERIAL.

Should I use the include statement or any other ways to do it?

Thanks.

Macy,

Try this:

INCLUDE &MY_MATNR& OBJECT MATERIAL ID 0001

Tag column must be set to '/:'

The statement should be

INCLUDE <b>&MARA-MATNR&</b> OBJECT MATERIAL ID GRUN LANGUAGE &SY-LANGU&

<b>MARA-MATNR</b> needs to be replaced with the variable that contains the material number at runtime.

Thanks for replying this message.

But the problem is that the object is not found,

as I tried to print &SAPSCRIPT-SUBRC& and 4 is resulted.

I've tried:

/:INCLUDE &MARA-MATNR& OBJECT MATERIAL ID GRUN LANGUAGE &SY-LANGU&

and

/:INCLUDE &ISEG-MATNR& OBJECT MATERIAL ID GRUN LANGUAGE &SY-LANGU&

But nothing is displayed. Anything wrong?

Macy,

If you get this error (4) it means that you haven't set up the text for your material.

Use MM02->Additional data/Basic data tab.

If you call the editor and Goto/Header it will display all the necessary information for you in order to extract this text. I found it very useful in many occasions.

Wojtek,

Yes, Thanks!

I just found the solution.

I should have known the method to find the text name by going to the header to view it.

And it works well.

Another method is to create a program containing a subroutine for the sapscript to call.
