Hi,

What data type is the context attribute that's bound to the TextEdit's value property? Is the data type limited to 132 characters? I recommend using data type STRING so the length won't be limited.

Below is the code I use to read in a standard text and set it to a field of type STRING.

  CALL FUNCTION 'READ_TEXT'
    EXPORTING
      id       = text_id
      language = sy-langu
      name     = text_name
      object   = text_object
    TABLES
      lines    = lt_tline
    EXCEPTIONS
      OTHERS   = 0.

  LOOP AT lt_tline ASSIGNING FIELD-SYMBOL(<tline>).
    CASE sy-tabix.
      WHEN 1.
        string_field = <tline>-tdline.
      WHEN OTHERS.
        string_field = |{ string_field }{ cl_abap_char_utilities=>newline }{ <tline>-tdline } |.
    ENDCASE.
  ENDLOOP. " <tline>

Cheers,
