INCLUDE STRUCTURE TLINE.
DATA: END OF LTEXT.
DATA: BEGIN OF DTEXT OCCURS 50.
DATA: MATNR LIKE PBIM-MATNR.
INCLUDE STRUCTURE TLINE.
DATA: END OF DTEXT.

SELECT * FROM PBIM WHERE WERKS IN S_WERKS.
MOVE PBIM-BDZEI TO TNAME.
CALL FUNCTION 'READ_TEXT'

LOOP AT LTEXT.
IF LTEXT-TDLINE NE ''.
MOVE LTEXT-TDLINE TO DTEXT-TDLINE.
MOVE PBIM-MATNR TO DTEXT-MATNR.
APPEND DTEXT.

What is the purpose of READ_TEXT functuion module and how to get text id value in this scenario(TDID)?
In business process, there are so many transactions that take place in every day, like purchase orders, sales orders, delivery, gooodsmovement etc... SAP provided a feature to maintain some text descriptions.
Read_Text Function module is used to retrieve the text for a particular objects.
To find the Text id these are the following steps. Let us take an example of Billing document Header text.
1. goto VF03, enter Billing doc Number
2. from menuselect Goto>Header-->header Text..... New window will be displayed
3. select the Header Text. here you can see all the text.
4. click on the TEXT (which you want to know the Text id) , then press log ICON (you can find in bottom right of the text window) it looks like a rolled paper.
5. in the Next window you will find Text Name. Text ID, Language. etc...

well like it´s name tells, its purpose is to Read texts.
it can read any kind of texts an often is used to read header texts or position texts in SD.
all the (standard)texts you create and edit with TA SO10 can be read with this FM.
