SAPscript: Read text

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.

eg.

data : ss_matnr type matnr.

call function 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT'

exporting

input = wa_mara-matnr

importing

output = ss_matnr.

s_id = 'GRUN'.

s_lang = 'EN'.

s_nm = ss_matnr.

s_obj = 'MATERIAL'.

call function 'READ_TEXT'

exporting

• CLIENT = SY-MANDT

id = s_id

language = s_lang

name = s_nm

object = s_obj

• ARCHIVE_HANDLE = 0

• LOCAL_CAT = ' '

• IMPORTING

• HEADER =

tables

lines = it_lines

exceptions

id = 1

language = 2

name = 3

not_found = 4

object = 5

reference_check = 6

wrong_access_to_archive = 7

others = 8
