Issue with FM - READ_TEXT

[Former Member]

Hi All,

We are using FM - READ_TEXT to read Customer long text from memory (Before save).

However, it always returns the old value (stored in Database).

We have seen a lot of threads in SCN which mention that READ_TEXT reads current data from memory. However, it does not work that way for us.

Any idea ?

Thanks,

Ashish

Hi Ashish W

In which transaction you are checking now ?

Even i also tried the same thing in sales order(VA01) while saving 

But did not get   After that i got all the currents texts in standard internal table xthead

i think its not possible from READ_TEXT while saving

Hi Bastin,

I am trying to read text in a Business transaction event (BTE) - DE_EIOUT which is called on Clicking SAVE button in VD02.

Could you pls. explain more on table xthead ? Which program does belong to ?

Are you doing something like '(<Program name>)xthead[]' ?

Thanks,

Hey Ashish,

The function module READ_TEXT reads the desired text from the text file, or the text memory.

For that you must specify the the text using the following parameters:

OBJECT 

NAME

ID

LANGUAGE

With these option give unique or selective text rather tahn giving generic text as the internal table can hold only one text.

Example :

Ex:

DATA BEGIN OF i_tlines_r OCCURS 0.

INCLUDE STRUCTURE tline.

DATA END OF i_tlines_r.

CALL FUNCTION 'READ_TEXT'

EXPORTING

CLIENT = SY-MANDT

ID = 'Z040'

LANGUAGE = 'E'

NAME = '0000003243' "For ex, Billing document number ,

OBJECT = 'VBBK'

TABLES

LINES = i_tlines_r

EXCEPTIONS

ID = 1

LANGUAGE = 2

NAME = 3

NOT_FOUND = 4

OBJECT = 5

REFERENCE_CHECK = 6

WRONG_ACCESS_TO_ARCHIVE = 7

OTHERS = 8

Note:

if you free memory id, system is forced to look into to Database. Check if some think like below is written in code before calling this FM:

free memory id 'SAPLSTXD'.

If yes, then comment that code line.

Hi Anamika,

I am implementing the logic in a Business transaction event (BTE) - DE_EIOUT which is called on Clicking SAVE button in VD02.

I donot have any control over the statement - free memory id 'SAPLSTXD', since it might have been called from Std.

Is there any other way to read texts from memory ?

Thanks,

Hi,

As we know that READ_TEXT fetches the saved data.

If you are entering the text in screen, u can read the screen field using function module

DYNP_VALUES_READ

try this.
