Use the function module READ_TEXT to get the texts.

Pass the following values

Text object EKPO

Text Name <PONUMBER+ITEM NUMBER>

Text ID F01

Language EN

Hi,

Use the READ_TEXT function. In order find the parameter values for this, go to the text in the full screen mode in ME23n transaction.

In there, menu Go To--> Header and you can see all the parameters you will have to pass like TDOBJECT, TDID, TDNAME etc.

the function returns 'THEAD' as the associsated type ... how do i use it in my smartform ?h

[Former Member]

Hi,

This data can be passed to the SMART Form and the entire long text can be printed with your fetching it.

CREATE a TEXT ELEMENT of type INCLUDE TEXT and you can specify the TDNAME, TDID, and TDOBJECT with language details and SMART Forms will take care of fetching the long text and displaying the same.

Make sure this is a part of the MAIN window.

Hi Shehryar,

I once you use this function module, you will get the text in an internal table and hence you cannot use include text option here.

CALL FUNCTION 'READ_TEXT'

EXPORTING OBJECT = I_HEADER-TDOBJECT

ID = I_HEADER-TDID

LANGUAGE = I_HEADER-TDSPRAS

NAME = I_HEADER-TDNAME

IMPORTING HEADER = E_HEADER

TABLES LINES = T_LINES

EXCEPTIONS ID = 1

OBJECT = 2

NAME = 3

LANGUAGE = 4

NOT_FOUND = 6

OTHERS = 8.

The t_lines will have the text in more than one lines.

YOu chave to use this internal table to print the text.

Have two text elements next to each other and display both the texts.

[Former Member]

Hi Dahar,

just below the box where the text is maintained in ME21N, u can select sapscript editor, ther goto>header> u ll get all the parameters ( text name, id, object, lang) that u need to give in the Include in smartforms..for items the text name will be variable n depends on items, so u take it in a variable before passing it in the include...

also the text id for different texts will be different ,...so u need to put these 2 texts one under the other in different text includes...

[Former Member]

got it. but how do i apply the character format ony include ?

[Former Member]

secondly isnt this include text thing like a hardcode way. i mean what if i dont give the 'item text' while creating a purchase order. It will stop me while previewin it ...

[Former Member]

wat do u mean by 'It will stop me while previewin it ... '.. u just check the check box : no errors if no text present',.. it will work fine.. n ya u cannot apply character format in this but u can apply paragraph format.. in case u need to apply character formatting, then use the FM 'READ_TEXT' in the program lines, retreive the texts in an internal table as suggested by ppl and use it along with ur formatting..

Regards

[Former Member]
