Hi,

READ_TEXT is used to read long texts in SAP,

E.g. you will have long texts in Sales order, Purchase order,notification, invoice etc..

HI,

in genral read_text FM is used to display the Text maintained in standardtransactions like ME21n/ va01 ,,, if u wanna display this text, u shud use READ_TEXT by passing th erelavnt parametsr like object, id, text, lang.

in case o f scripts, there is no need to call this FM, when u r including the standard text using menu--include -standard text, here u shud give the object, id, text, lang..(this is simialr to standard text) then script will display the text mainatined in the standard transactions.

Regards,
