All the long text can be retrieve using this method.

You have to used the READ_TEXT functions to read the SAP long text. e.g. Sales Order, Purchase Order Item text etc.

To check your long text header, go into the long text. Click Goto -> Header

Example of READ_TEXT functions reading tables PBIM - Independent requirements for material.

REPORT ZTEXT .

TABLES: PBIM.

• stxh, stxl, stxb - trans tables for text

• ttxit - text on text-ids

• ttxot - Short texts on text objects

• Transaction MD63

SELECT-OPTIONS: S_MATNR FOR PBIM-MATNR,

S_WERKS FOR PBIM-WERKS.

DATA: BEGIN OF HTEXT.

INCLUDE STRUCTURE THEAD.

DATA: END OF HTEXT.

DATA: BEGIN OF LTEXT OCCURS 50.

INCLUDE STRUCTURE TLINE.

DATA: END OF LTEXT.

DATA: BEGIN OF DTEXT OCCURS 50.

DATA: MATNR LIKE PBIM-MATNR.

INCLUDE STRUCTURE TLINE.

DATA: END OF DTEXT.

DATA: TNAME LIKE THEAD-TDNAME.

SELECT * FROM PBIM WHERE WERKS IN S_WERKS.

MOVE PBIM-BDZEI TO TNAME.

CALL FUNCTION 'READ_TEXT'

EXPORTING

• CLIENT = SY-MANDT

ID = 'PB'

LANGUAGE = 'E'

NAME = TNAME

OBJECT = 'PBPT'

• ARCHIVE_HANDLE = 0

IMPORTING

HEADER = HTEXT

TABLES

LINES = LTEXT

EXCEPTIONS

ID = 1

LANGUAGE = 2

NAME = 3

NOT_FOUND = 4

OBJECT = 5

REFERENCE_CHECK = 6

WRONG_ACCESS_TO_ARCHIVE = 7

OTHERS = 8.

LOOP AT LTEXT.

IF LTEXT-TDLINE NE ''.

MOVE LTEXT-TDLINE TO DTEXT-TDLINE.

MOVE PBIM-MATNR TO DTEXT-MATNR.

APPEND DTEXT.

ENDIF.

ENDLOOP.

ENDSELECT.

LOOP AT DTEXT.

WRITE:/ DTEXT-MATNR, DTEXT-TDLINE.

ENDLOOP.
