Read_text

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I want to print text as output in SAP Script using FM Read_text. For this i am using External subroutine. How to get the output and how to declare it?

Expecting reply.

One option is to EXPORT the text to a mmemory id after reading the text in the external subroutine and IMPORT the text from the memory id in the SAP script editor .

Hi kiran,

Can u supply full coding including FM Read_text.

Simple and the most often used way is to get the value into a variable and print it in the script.

In the external subroutine write the statement

CALL FUNCTION 'READ_TEXT'

exporting

object

id

name

langu

TABLES

lines = itab

EXPORT itab TO MEMORY-ID 'TXT'.

and after calling the external subroutine(I guess u r calling this in the script editor)

IMPORT itab FROM MEMORY-ID 'TXT.

This is one way of solving ur problem...

Hi,

Place the read_text in the report program and assign a field that will hold the text.

Example, I named it as tdline. now, in the sapscript form, put in &TDLINE&. It will now

show the value of tdline.

Regards!

P.S. Please award points for useful answers.

Hi ravi,

why are you using the READ_TEXT Fm.

you can directly include the text using include text option.

INCLUDE <b>TEXT1</b> OBJECT <b>TEXT</b> ID <b>ST</b>

TEXT1 is Name

TEXT is Object

ST is ID.

you can find these from Insert->Text->Standard text

No vijay,

I've finished the O/P using Include..., but client wants to display the text after some space.

Ex: REMARKS: Goods not Received.

Goods not Received is the text taken from the text editor in Me21n

[Former Member]

Hi Ravi,

get the Text from Me21 using Read_Text.

write a routine to concatenate the out put with contant character for eg: concatenate 'Remarks: ' Read_text-output_value into temp_variable.

print the temp_variable.

Hi jay,

Give me coding for this example, and internal table declaration. How to get the text as result...

CALL FUNCTION 'READ_TEXT'

EXPORTING

CLIENT = SY-MANDT

ID = 'F01'

LANGUAGE = SY-LANGU

NAME = 4100000016

OBJECT = 'EKKO'

• ARCHIVE_HANDLE = 0

• LOCAL_CAT = ' '

• IMPORTING

• HEADER =

TABLES

LINES = ITAB

• 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.

Hi Ravi,

To get the text using function module you need to have that text saved in standard text format.and in export parameters ID, Language Name and Object u have to pass then u will get text in LINES parameter.But for this u need all the above export parameters.
