in which table data is stored by text editor

[Former Member]

we enter text in text editor control.

but i can't figure out :: it store the text entered in text editor in which table.

can you help me in this.

you can use FM read_text.

to know wich parameters you have to enter in the function, procced as follow:

1/ put break point in TEXT_READ

2/ enter text in the text editor and save

3/ when you reach the degugger you can see wich parameters are entered in the function.

It's in STXL.

But, you know, maybe it's not always the best thing to go straight to the database. With application software like SAP, often it's good to find the right API or function module.

I agree - READ_TEXT.

hi,

if you're speaking from CL_GUI_TEXTEDIT,

use method GET_SELECTED_TEXT_AS_R3TABLE

i am using this class

CALL METHOD STEXT_EDITOR_202->SET_TEXT_AS_R3TABLE

EXPORTING

TABLE = SELECTED_TEXT.

we can save data using "SAVE_TEXT"

and read this data using "READ_TEXT"

but where does "save_text" save data, this i can't catch even with debugging.

The texts are save in text file!

hello joseph ,

sorry i can't get it.

can you please explain this in detail.

[Former Member]

this what i read in the documentation of the function of the FM.

[athavanraja]

CALL METHOD STEXT_EDITOR_202->SET_TEXT_AS_R3TABLE

EXPORTING

TABLE = SELECTED_TEXT.

this will only export the data to a itab (SELECTED_TEXT)

to save the same, you could save it in custom table , or write to a file, it depends on how the application is designed.

Tell us the program where you picked this code (if its a standard program) then we can tell you how SAVING is handled.

hello Raja,

in SE37 please see documentation of "save_text"

regards.

[athavanraja]

save_text function is a different thing, its not used with class CL_GUI_TEXTEDIT.

also the documentation of SAVE_TEXT says that the saving to either file or text meory based on the text object.

if you could tell us, what exactly you wanted to do , may be we can come up with some sample code.

Raja,

firstly my program is working fine, i want to know how FM "READ_TEXT" read text.

this is coding

refresh: ltxttab2. clear ltxttab2.

clear w_thead.

w_thead-tdobject = 'ZXYZ'.

w_thead-tdname = mrole.

w_thead-tdid = 'LTXT'.

w_thead-tdspras = sy-langu.

w_thead-tdfuser = sy-uname.

w_thead-tdfdate = sy-datum.

w_thead-tdftime = sy-uzeit.

CALL FUNCTION 'READ_TEXT'

EXPORTING

CLIENT = SY-MANDT

ID = 'LTXT'

LANGUAGE = sy-langu

NAME = W_XYZ-TDNAME

OBJECT = 'ZXYZ'

• ARCHIVE_HANDLE = 0

• LOCAL_CAT = ' '

• IMPORTING

• HEADER =

TABLES

LINES = LTXTTAB2

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.

[athavanraja]

i guess the confusion is becuase, you mentioned about <b>text edit control</b>

Read_text reads text from STXH , STXL, STXB (depending on the object) tables for a specific text object.

you can just go to these table (se16) and see yourself.

did i answer your question?

Regards

STXH -> Header table

STXL -> Table which stores the actual text.

Hi Surprise,

In order to read the text element you need to use FM READ_TEXT.

The texts are the long characters and they are stored in the unreadable format which makes them difficult to access directly via database so you have to use this FM.

Don't forgot to rewards points to replies which answer your question.
