Definition

This field specifies the format of the text. The editor which is accessed depends on this format.

The format can be specified in table TTXOB as well as in table TTXID. If a format is specified in table TTXOB, this applies to all IDs which belong to this object. If the format specification is empty in table TTXOB, the respective definitions in TTXID apply.

If a format is not specified, the text is interpreted as an ITF format and the SAPscript editor therefore called.

In all other cases, a non-ITF format is created and another text editor called. In this case, SAPscript forwards the text to a function module EDIT_TEXT_FORMAT_xxx, which must call the respective word processor. xxx corresponds to the contents of this field. This function module is not provided by SAPscript.

The text can be printed via the SAPscript function module PRINT_TEXT, which forwards the call to a function module PRINT_TEXT_FORMAT_xxx, depending on the format.

Otherwise all other SAPscript functions such as READ_TEXT, SAVE_TEXT, DELETE_TEXT etc. can be used. SAPscript editing functions such as TEXT_SYMBOL_REPLACE etc. cannot be used with these texts.

The following restrictions apply:

  • These texts cannot be inserted in SAPscript texts using the INCLUDE command.
  • They cannot be output in SAPscript layout sets with the function module WRITE_FORM_LINES.

The text lines of these texts are saved in the file STXB, as long as the data is stored with SAPscript. The header information is stored in the table STXH like the SAPscript texts.
