Hi,

In order to process text modules in application programs, all information about a text module must be transferred to internal work areas.

A text is read from the text file or text memory with this function module. It must be described fully by specifying OBJECT, NAME, ID, and LANGUAGE. Generic entries in these parameters are not valid.

When header information and text lines have been read successfully, they are transferred to the work areas HEADER and LINES.

Thanks.

All the texts within SAP are stored in the STXH/STXL table and the identification of the text is the transaction document and the text id of the text ( to support multiple texts per transaction document). Couple of days earlier LJN had mentioned the steps to get the name and text id. (double click on the text and then go to header info ).

You use FM READ_TEXT to read the information as this stable stores the information in the RAW format.

It is mainly used to read the header text/ long text...

For example , goto VF03 and give billing doc num and enter...

from menu goto--> header --> header text ( if you want to display this text you need to use this function module)

Reward points to all useful answers.
