Yes you can get this text by using the READ_TEXT function module, you will need to know the object and id and the "name" is probably material number or a concatenation of material number and plant. Check table STXH for an example of this data.

Just checked, the TDOBJECT should be "MATERIAL" and the TDID should be "BEST", and the TDNAME should be your material number. Use these values when calling READ_TEXT.

Hi Rich Thank you so much for the information

Can u tell me how you were able to find the TDOBJECT TDID etc????

[RichHeilman]

Ah yes, excellent question, and not really a clear cut answer. In my experience, the easiest way to find this information is to simply create the text using the standard transaction, in this case MM02. Then go to transaction SE16, using table STXH, do a query on this table, entering your user name, and today's date as the creation date. The results should show the text that you just created, now you can see the object, id, and the way the name is being used here.

I also understand that in some cases, there is a button next to the editor in the screen which gives you some idea of these values, but this is not implemented everywhere, and I believe that I've only seen this in one place, can't remember where, but the first solution above will always work for you.

Hi Rich Heilman,

      How can we make default text in the editor & should be non-editable mode as below for tcode QA32 and under User decision tab where you can find a word editor?..So User would be able to write related title in the word editor.
