Is this a question or a statement?
What/how did you try?

[TMNielsen]

Maybe you should add info about what SAP system you connect to. Is it S/4HANA or stand alene ABAP environment or something else?

[former_member134435]

We connect SAP S4HANA public cloud to ABAP on cloud (Steampunk).

Hello,

Hello.

Is there another way to access custom text maintained in the app Maintain Standard Texts in your developer code. I understand that sap script is not accessible using unreleased APIs but is there no ABAP Cloud way of reading these texts aside from specific cases in badi implementations (often in key user extensibility). If there are no released APIs to allow you to read these texts in a similar but Cloud compliant way, how are we to maintain texts and use them in our developer code? Or is this SAPs way of saying we shouldn't use the app Maintain Standard Texts  in custom developer code, if so what is than the suggested way to maintain texts and use them in custom code (which is still something that needs to happen in a Public Cloud/ABAP BTP system)? 

Thanks and regards

SAPscript is not supported in the ABAP Cloud feature set. Therefore, the respective function modules are not released and cannot be used in SAP BTP ABAP Environment.

Hi frankjentsch

This is not my thread, by I am curious.

Does this mean that SAP S4HANA public cloud does not have classic texts like header texts on a sales order? or are they replaced by something that is not SAPScript?

Best regards

There are three different aspects: A component can

• be part of the delivered software stack
• actively used by SAP-delivered applications
• provide also a released API for custom code

I meant: SAPscript is continuously part of the delivered software stack, but SAPscript is not part of ABAP Cloud feature set. It means, that the generic APIs (fm READ_TEXT) are not released. Therefore, SAPscript cannot be used in custom code where ABAP Cloud is enforced (in SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud and SAP BTP ABAP Environment).

Hello Frank,

In Public Cloud system, we need to read outbound delivery header texts for using as additional notes in electronic documents BADI.

How can I do that?
How can I store custom note in outbound delivery header and read it?
Should I use custom field for it? 

Thanks,

The READ_TEXT FM is part of the SAP_BASIS layer which underlies both S/4HANA Cloud ABAP stack and S/4HANA OP stack.
