Hi Moni,
First thing to do is to check the key you are using to try and access the text.  Look up the header of the text you are after using SE16 on table STXH.  If you have some trouble finding it you can make a change to the delivery text (using the standard delivery change transaction) and select all records where TDLUSER = [Your SAP logon].
This should help you locate the exact key you are looking for.  Remember also that leading zeros should be included in the key where appropriate (check in debug that the key is built correctly).
If the key is correct (including the language!!!) then the READ_TEXT function will for sure retrieve the lines you are looking for.  Remember also that if you are peforming this code within a delivery userexit the possibility exists that the text has not even been saved yet (still running in update task).  In this case, you will have to access the text from memory directly (this can be a painful process).
Hope that helps.
Cheers,
Brad
