Function module (Reports)

Question

Hi all,
I am facing a prob. I made a report program defining a internal table with object id, objectname , language ,date LIKE thead-tdldate,
         Time LIKE thead-tdltime,
         User LIKE thead-tdfuser,
         Version LIKE thead-tdversion,like thead table and
a header LIKE thead.
and t_line like tline with heder line occurs 0.
i made a object, object id, and structure using se75 transaction.
and call READ_TEXT_INLINE function module and pass all value than i call EDIT_TEXT_INLINE function module ,I pass inline_count = 1 and inlines = t_line1 which is like tline table .
I want that ,when  save my change on sap script ,that previous should be  commented with change time and date .Which function module I have to use it?
Please help me.

Hi,
You can try one of these two options to see if it gives you what you need:
<u>Option 1:</u>
When you call EDIT_TEXT_INLINE, first move the sy-datum and sy-uzeit values to thead-tdldate and thead-tdltime respectively.  Then pass the text header to the EDIT_TEXT_INLINE importing parameter HEADER.  Then when the SAVE_TEXT function is called by EDIT_TEXT_INLINE, the date and time will be passed to SAVE_TEXT via its HEADER parameter.  Note that the date and time will not be the most current at the time of saving if you use this option.
<u>Option 2:</u>
When you call EDIT_TEXT_INLINE, pass SPACE to the parameter SAVE (notice that the default value is 'X', so simply leaving off the SAVE parameter will <b>not</b> work for this option). This will tell EDIT_TEXT_INLINE to skip its own call of SAVE_TEXT, leaving the task to your program instead.  If there are no errors after your call of EDIT_TEXT_INLINE, then you simply move the current date and time as described in Option 1 above and call SAVE_TEXT in your program.
Note: You may also want to consider populating the THEAD-TDFUSER with the user-id (sy-uname) so that the last changed by user will also be saved.
Let me know how (and if) either Option works and which one you decide to use.
Best of luck,
