get_text_as_stream to CONVERT_STREAM_TO_ITF_TEXT

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have created a texteditor ( SAP Enjoy control ) in my screen. I want to save and update the text in it as long text. I have used the <b>'get_text_as_stream'</b> function to read the text from the editor. I also used the <b>'CONVERT_STREAM_TO_ITF_TEXT'</b> function to preserve formatting for printing purposes. When I use the latter one, suppose if I had typed a '&' in the texteditor, it gets converted to '<(>&<)>' . The former function call perfectly picks the content of the editor.

Please help me on this..

Dear Ramesh,

Thanks for you reply!

You are correct. When I re-read into the textbox, it appears perfectly.The problem is when I print the same in SMARTFORMS. I get the junk characters in the printed output.

Hi Nikhil,

we can use READ_TEXT function module to get the value.

And use replace all occurrence of <(>&<)> value with &.

Thanks,
