Hi,

The FM READ_TEXT allows reading a standard text in a program.

You can read all type standard text, particularly the text linked to document (sales order, bill, invoice,....) and several objects (material, customer, vendor,...).

If you go to std transaction, for example VA03 (to display sale order) and then go to text header, you can see all standard texts of the document (left column). If you do a double click on a text, the system will show you the text (long text) at the right side, so if you do a double click on long text the system will open the editor where you can change the text and see the header data of this text.

The key of each text is formed by

thead-tdobject => Object type

thead-tdname => Text name

thead-tdid => Text id (subobject)

thead-tdspras => Text language ID

You can always find out these information to use fm READ_TEXT.

You should know the ID of the text you want to read (You can see in the customizing to know which texts are linked to your object) and find out the text name in the program.

Check this code.

CALL FUNCTION 'READ_TEXT'

EXPORTING

client = sy-mandt

id = thead-tdid

language = thead-tdspras

name = thead-tdname

object = thead-tdobject

TABLES

lines = inline

EXCEPTIONS

id = 1

language = 2

name = 3

not_found = 4

object = 5

reference_check = 6

wrong_access_to_archive = 7

OTHERS = 8.

Hope this resolves your query.

Reward all the helpful answers.

Hi

Please check out the code:

data: i_lines TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF tline WITH HEADER LINE.

CALL FUNCTION 'READ_TEXT'

EXPORTING

• CLIENT = SY-MANDT

id = 'ETX2'

language = sy-langu

name = l_objnam

object = l_object

• ARCHIVE_HANDLE = 0

• LOCAL_CAT = ' '

• IMPORTING

• HEADER =

TABLES

lines = i_lines

• EXCEPTIONS

• ID = 1

• LANGUAGE = 2

• NAME = 3

• NOT_FOUND = 4

• OBJECT = 5

• REFERENCE_CHECK = 6

• WRONG_ACCESS_TO_ARCHIVE = 7

• OTHERS = 8

.

READ TABLE i_lines INDEX 1.

IF sy-subrc = 0.

l_doship = i_lines-tdline.

ENDIF.

i_lines is the result table.

It contains the text corresponding to the id and object in the FM READ_TEXT.

Thanks & Regards,

Swathi A.
