read text from STXL

Hi All,

I am a junior abaper and i needed some help or advice about reading text from table stxl. I did a select on this table with a where clause condition which does not fail (sy-subrc) but when i look into clustd (where i am been told i will find the text) there is nothing in it apart from a series of zero's. Can anyone shed some light on this?

thanks in advance.
