Why does this not work?

[Former Member]

When I hardcode a value the program works. The output is generated! To be sure the variable: <traptab>-matnr

is filled correctly I inserted the variable into a table just prior to the Call FUNCTION and I can see the value is correct.

Also, I run this exact same logic in a standalone pgm and it works fine.

There are no compile errors, or runtime errors...

So what is going on???

Help...

Thanks,

Vincent

1) l_textname = <traptab>-matnr.

2) l_textname = '956771-CH1'.

3)

CALL FUNCTION 'READ_TEXT'

EXPORTING

ID = 'PRUE'

LANGUAGE = gv_language

NAME = l_textname

OBJECT = 'MATERIAL'

TABLES

lines = text_lines

EXCEPTIONS

id = 1

language = 2

name = 3

not_found = 4

object = 5

reference_check = 6.

Thanks,

Solved!!!

Hey guys,

You are great.

Of course not all of my materials have inspection text. So the first time I LOOPed into a material that had no STXL then I raised a message...

Silly me.

So by commenting the message... everything is cool.

Many thanks,

Vincent

p.s., I am not sure how to award points....but thanks a lot

Thanks guys,

These were all wonderful suggestions. I tried condense and also the conversion exit. But, still no cigar.

I am not sure how to run the form in debug mode.

I invoke the form by running transaction /nMB02 and doing a change document. I hardcode a break-point but it never stops there. I tried turning on SFTRACE but it still does not stop there. I think if I could step through it I might see something.

Otherwise I am shooting in the dark.

Thanks and try to come up with some other ideas,

Vincent

Hi,

Don't condense the material number. The function module expects the complete material number including leading zeros also.

Please check the below code. It is working fine for this requirement.

Please check the below code.

REPORT ZRKPROGRAM4 .

DATA: V_ID LIKE THEAD-TDID,

V_LANGUAGE LIKE THEAD-TDSPRAS,

V_NAME LIKE THEAD-TDNAME,

V_OBJECT LIKE THEAD-TDOBJECT,

T_LINES LIKE TLINE OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE.

DATA: V_MATNR LIKE MARA-MATNR.

PARAMETER: P_MATNR TYPE MATNR.

START-OF-SELECTION.

V_ID = 'PRUE'.

V_LANGUAGE = 'E'.

V_OBJECT = 'MATERIAL'.

*The get complete material length including leading zeros

CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT'

EXPORTING

INPUT = P_MATNR

IMPORTING

OUTPUT = V_MATNR .

V_NAME = V_MATNR.

CALL FUNCTION 'READ_TEXT'

EXPORTING

• CLIENT = SY-MANDT

ID = V_ID

LANGUAGE = V_LANGUAGE

NAME = V_NAME

OBJECT = V_OBJECT

• ARCHIVE_HANDLE = 0

• LOCAL_CAT = ' '

• IMPORTING

• HEADER =

TABLES

LINES = T_LINES

• EXCEPTIONS

• ID = 1

• LANGUAGE = 2

• NAME = 3

• NOT_FOUND = 4

• OBJECT = 5

• REFERENCE_CHECK = 6

• WRONG_ACCESS_TO_ARCHIVE = 7

• OTHERS = 8

.

IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.

• MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO

• WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.

ENDIF.

LOOP AT T_LINES.

WRITE:/ T_LINES-TDLINE.

ENDLOOP.

Paste the code.

The problem may be with data format.

Use this function module,

CONVERSION_EXIT_MATN1_INPUT

Pass the material no first into this function mdouel and get the output into varible.Use this value in the read_text.

Try this way and let me know if u face any problem.

Vincent,

You could run your program in debug mode for the scenario wherein you've assigned l_textname = <traptab>-matnr. Check if the format of your material is the same as what you are expecting it. The value '956771-CH1' might already be the converted output for this material and is different from the internal format of your material. Hence, this will give a different result.

Example:

Output Format: '956771-CH1'

Internal Value: 000000000956771CH1

If such is the case, you could use the conversion exit to properly convert your material to required format.

Kind Regards,

Try and condense the variable before the call function..that might help.

It is basically the format which is causing the issue eg trailing spaces etc.
