READ_TEXT Code?

[Former Member]

Anyone privy to the coding beneath the READ_TEXT FM?

A PL/SQL equivalent would SURE heal a lot of pain.

Thanks,

Not quite what I need. This tells how to tell ABAP certain things about READ_TEXT, but what I need is the actual code that reads the raw data and converts it, aka, what comprises the READ_TEXT function module.

For that you may take a look at the code for this FM in SE37.

Basically it is reading from STXH and doing conversions for the data.

It eventually has to read the STXL.CLUSTD field, which is LONG RAW, and then convert it. I need that low of a level of code.

I'll look into SE37, see how far it will help, then get back.
