Read_text

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I am getting text from read_text . I need to all rows of text into another export parameter of Function module which is declared as XSTRING . Is there any other way to get the data more than 256 characters into Export parameter. Is it possible or not?

Declare one variable

data : l_data type xstring.

call function 'READ_TEXT'

EXPORTING

client = sy-mandt

id = 'IVER'

language = sy-langu

name = tdname

object = 'MATERIAL'

TABLES

lines = int_rtline

EXCEPTIONS

id = 1

language = 2

name = 3

not_found = 4

object = 5

reference_check = 6

wrong_access_to_archive = 7

others = 8.

loop at int_rtline.

concatenate l_data int_rtline-tdline

into l_data separated by space.

endloop.

pass the l_data to ur export parameter

Here the problem is with export parameter it should take more that 256 characters. eventhough i declared as 2000 characters its taking only 256 characters.

What is the other function module? Is that standard SAP? May be its code restrict it to just 256 (which is very common for many old SAP function modules dealing with text).

It is custom function module . Is there way to get more than 256 characters into export paramter . I can change export parameter type also if it is possible.

What is your custom function module's export parameter currently defined as? Did you try type STRING?

Just check with Debugging and string will have all data and it does not show in debugging ..

Use below FM to see the exact outpput:

data :descrip type string.

data : itab_d like swastrtab occurs 0 with header line.

call function 'SWA_STRING_SPLIT'

EXPORTING

input_string = descrip

max_component_length = 100

TABLES

string_components = itab_d.

text data will be saving multiple lines with each line it has 255 Char.

What does your custom function module do?
