STXL table contains information related to Long texts entered in SAP for different transactions.

Ex: If Purchase order header text is maintained(ME21N) then there will be an entry in STXL table with the following entry:

TDOBJECT will be EKKO (PO table),

TDNAME will be PO Number,

TDID will be F01 (PO header text) and

TDSPRAS will be EN ( or any logon lanugage by which the text is entered)

So these four field information is required to access the text for display, so if you know the PO number (or any document) then u can check its corresponding texts maintained in SAP in STXL table and use these ID's in Smartforms.

Advantage in smartforms : To display these texts in smartforms need to create a text, change its type to include text in general attributes of text. Then provide the 4 field information to display the text instead of calling a function module READ_TEXT to read the text, get the text in internal table and finally display.

Hi,

This is a transparent table which stores all the stylesheets defined in the system. This includes the custom stylesheets alongwith the standard ones.

Stylesheets allow you to format your SAPSCRIPT/SMARTFORM according to your requirements.
