I am trying to save a text area from Transaction VA43 (Texts Tab). I want to save the first three lines (max length 60) into 3 text fields in ABAP Program. I am using READ_TEXT function but I am getting the line feed special character saved into the field in my program.

Is there a way to remove this new line/carriage return character before saving it in my program?

Hi,

Function module READ_TEXT returns LINES table of structure TLINE, which contains two fields.

1. TDFORMAT(2) :Tag column

2. TDLINE(132) :Text Line

READ TABLE LINES INDEX 1.

FIELD1 = LINES-TDLINE

READ TABLE LINES INDEX 2.

FIELD2 = LINES-TDLINE

READ TABLE LINES INDEX 3.

FIELD3 = LINES-TDLINE

Thanks,

Ramakrishna
