HI,

Yes, you can add using TEXT AREA control. Insert a custom control area in the screen and create a object of the text editor.

Check this code for PBO and PAI.

TEDITOR is the custom contorl area name on screen:-

MODULE PBO OUTPUT.
  IF EDITOR IS INITIAL.
 
*   set status
SET pf-status '1111'.
 
*   create control container
    CREATE OBJECT TextEdit_Custom_Container
        EXPORTING
            CONTAINER_NAME = 'TEDITOR'
        EXCEPTIONS
            CNTL_ERROR = 1
            CNTL_SYSTEM_ERROR = 2
            CREATE_ERROR = 3
            LIFETIME_ERROR = 4
            LIFETIME_DYNPRO_DYNPRO_LINK = 5.
    if sy-subrc ne 0.
*      add your handling
    ENDif.
    mycontainer = 'TEDITOR'.
 
*   create calls constructor, which initializes, creats and links
*   TextEdit Control
    create object editor
          exporting
           parent = TextEdit_Custom_Container
           WORDWRAP_MODE =
*               cl_gui_textedit=>wordwrap_off
              cl_gui_textedit=>wordwrap_at_fixed_position
*              cl_gui_textedit=>WORDWRAP_AT_WINDOWBORDER
           WORDWRAP_POSITION = line_length
           wordwrap_to_linebreak_mode = cl_gui_textedit=>true.
 
*   to handle different containers
    container_linked = 1.
 
    refresh mytable.
 
  ENDIF.
 
ENDMODULE.                 " PBO  OUTPUT
 
 
MODULE pai INPUT.
case ok_code.
 
WHEN 'SAVE'.
*   retrieve table from control
clear: txt.
      call method editor->get_text_as_r3table
              importing table = mytable.
 
      loop at mytable into wa.
 
         concatenate txt wa into txt
         separated by '|'.
      endloop.
 
      shift txt left.
      length = strlen( txt ).
 
      ztext-CLUSTR = length.
      ztext-text   = txt.
 
      modify ztext.
 
      clear: ztext.
      refresh: mytable.
        call method editor->set_text_as_r3table
              exporting table = mytable.
      Message s000(zwa).
 
when 'DISP'.
  
      select single * from
      ztext
      where fund = ztext-fund.
 
      SPLIT ztext-text AT '|' INTO TABLE mytable.
 
      call method editor->set_text_as_r3table
             exporting table = mytable.
 
endcase.
 
clear: ok_code.
 
ENDMODULE.                 " pai  INPUT
