hi,
there is another way u can use yours internal table field like long text field. that is.
parameters: salno type vbak-vbeln.
data: begin of itab occurs 0,
  vbeln type vbak-vbeln,
  matnr type vbap-matnr,
  longtext type thead occurs 0,
  end of itab.
  data: itabstxl type standard table of stxl with header line.
  select single vbakvbeln vbapmatnr into (itab-vbeln, itab-matnr)
                                 from vbak inner join vbap
                                   on vbakvbeln = vbapvbeln
                                    where vbak~vbeln = salno.
    select single tdobject tdname tdid tdspras from stxl
                                                 into (itabstxl-tdobject,itabstxl-tdname,itabstxl-tdid,itabstxl-tdspras)
                                                       where relid = 'TX'
                                                        and  tdobject = 'VBBK'
                                                        and tdname = salno    "YOUR OWN TDNAME e,g
                                                        and tdid = 'Z003'
                                                        and tdspras = 'EN'.
call function 'READ_TEXT'
  exporting
  CLIENT                        = SY-MANDT
    id                            = itabstxl-tdid
    language                      = itabstxl-tdspras
    name                          = itabstxl-tdname
    object                        = itabstxl-tdobject
  ARCHIVE_HANDLE                = 0
  LOCAL_CAT                     = ' '
IMPORTING
  HEADER                        =
  tables
    lines                         = itab-longtext
EXCEPTIONS
  ID                            = 1
  LANGUAGE                      = 2
  NAME                          = 3
  NOT_FOUND                     = 4
  OBJECT                        = 5
  REFERENCE_CHECK               = 6
  WRONG_ACCESS_TO_ARCHIVE       = 7
  OTHERS                        = 8
if sy-subrc <> 0.
MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
        WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.
endif.
break abaper.
I HOPE THIS WILL SOLVE THIS WILL SOLVE THE PROBLEM OF THE OTHERS AS WELL.
