Definition

You enter the name of the text routine to read texts in this field.

If the indicator 'Transfer with structure' is selected, the text routine then has the following interface:

--> TABLE    Reporting table

--> FIELD    Field name

--> VALUE    Field value

--> DATE    Date for reading the master data

--> LANGU    Language

<-- SHORTTEXT    Short text (short description)

<-- LONGTEXT    Long text (long description)

The parameter DATE is only available when the indicator 'Read with date' is not selected.

The Report Writer fills all the fields relevant for the reading of the texts in the transfer structure before calling up the text routine.

If the indicator 'Transfer with structure' is not set, the defininf fields necessary for reading the texts can be entered manually (maximum of 5 fields). The text routine then has the following interface:

--> TABLE    Reporting table

--> FIELD1    Defining field

--> FIELD2    Defining field

--> FIELD3    Defining field

--> FIELD4    Defining field

--> FIELD5    Defining field

--> FIELD    Field name

--> VALUE    Field value

--> DATE    Date for reading the master data

--> LANGU    Language

<-- SHORTTEXT    Short text (short description)

<-- LONGTEXT    Long text (long description)

Only the explicitly specified fields will be considered.
