Problem with READ_TEXT function

[Former Member]

Hi everyone,

I'm facing a little problem with the function READ_TEXT. In our system there is a smart form for PO printing. This form prints material code, material description and technical specification of the material typed in PO.

Today I realized that when someone creates a PO with no code, only typing material description, the form prints weird things.

I don't know why, but it's printing a technical specification that shouldn't be printed.

I started to debug the form code to see from where this text is coming from and I realized that the form calls the function READ_TEXT passing some parameters and retrieves the text.

During my debug, I noticed that the parameters are:

CLIENT = "520" <- Our client number

OBJECT = "MATERIAL" <- Material Object

NAME = "" <- This field is empty due the material has no code in PO (I think this is the problem)

ID = "BEST" <- I don't know what it means, but it's passing this value.

LANGUAGE = "PT" <- PT means Portuguese

The field Lines return with a wierd text.

My question is: What is the table where the system is looking for to retrieve this text? I think that someone miss-typed it there and I need know where it is to erase it.

Once I have the table, I'll look for a transaction that modifies this table so see why that text is there.

I tried debug the function READ_TEXT but I failed doing that.`

Ps: I didn't mention but I'm a just debugger, I know almost nothing about ABAP

Best Regards,

Rodrigo

In the print program please change the parameters you pass to READ_TEXT as follows

CLIENT = SY-MANDT << current client

OBJECT = "EKPO" << PO Item line

NAME = V_NAME << Concatenate EKPO-EBELN and EKPO-EBELP into V_NAME

ID = "BEST" << Purchasing

LANGUAGE = "PT" << PT means Portuguese
