Maintain custom text in SE61

Question

Hi all,
I designed a custom program which sends out mails.
The customer wants to maintain the body text in a table. Is it possible to maintain this text in SE61 and read it from the DB. If yes, how can I read the text ?

Answer 1

Long Text Editor Settings
Use
You can adapt the long text editor so that it meets your specific requirements by maintaining settings for the long text editor. The default settings are defined in accordance with SAP recommendations.
Features
You can maintain the following long text editor settings:
·        Save and Next
If you select this checkbox, you exit the long text editor when you save. If you use sequential processing, you access the next object in the worklist that needs to be processed.
·        Line Numbering
If you select this checkbox, line numbers are displayed for the source and target texts on the left side of the split screen editor. This can be useful whenever you need to find a specific part of a text.
·        Lined
If you select this checkbox, the source and target texts are displayed in the split screen editor as if they were on lined paper.
·        Technical Display (Standard Long Texts Only)
If you select this checkbox, the technical history of long text objects written in SE61 is displayed to the right of the source and target texts in the split screen editor. The following information is shown:
¡        Source text:
§         Original language
§         Version
§         Status (this shows you whether the long text has been saved as a raw or active version). For more information, see Saving Long Texts as a Raw/Active Version.
§         Created by
§         Date (on which object was created)
§         Release (for which the object was created)
§         Changed by
§         Date (of last change)
§         Release (for which the object was last changed)
¡        Target text:
§         Version
§         Status (this shows you whether the long text has been saved as a raw or active version). For more information, see Saving Long Texts as a Raw/Active Version.
§         Created by
§         Date (on which object was first translated)
§         Release (for which the object was first translated)
§         Changed by
§         Date (of last change)
§         Release (for which the translation of the object was last changed)
·        Number of Visible Source Text Lines
This field enables you to determine the number of source text lines you can see in the split screen editor. You can specify a value between 10 and 19. The standard is 10. You can also control this setting directly in the split screen editor by clicking the More Source Text Lines and Less Source Text Lines icons above the input area for the translation.
Activities
To define your long text editor settings, choose Utilities ® Settings and select the Long Text Editor tab page. You can then enter the settings described above. Otherwise, the standard settings are used instead.
