Problem in reading the modified text from text editor

Question

Hi all,
Im using text editor for saving the long text entered in the text editor as standard text in So10 tcode.
Here im facing an issue in reading the text from text editor. That is, when the text is entered by the user for first time, then the below method reads the text successfully.   But when i do some changes in the existing text present in the text editor and try to read, then the modified text is not returned by the below method.
I use the "CALL METHOD g_editor_ftext1->get_text_as_stream" to read the text. Given below is my code.
CALL METHOD g_editor_ftext1->get_text_as_stream  
   IMPORTING
      text                   = ig_text_table
      is_modified            = g_xthead_updkz
    EXCEPTIONS
      error_dp               = 1
      error_cntl_call_method = 2
      OTHERS                 = 3.
The return value of "is_modified" is always returned as 0.
Could anyone pls help how to read the modified text using the above method?

Check if this works and if it works then there should be some mistake in your coding
REPORT abc.
PARAMETERS:pa1 TYPE bwart.
DATA: container TYPE REF TO cl_gui_docking_container,
      editor    TYPE REF TO cl_gui_textedit,
      report    TYPE syrepid,
      mod TYPE i,
      modon TYPE i.
DATA:tlines    TYPE TABLE OF tdline,
     wa_tlines TYPE tdline.
AT SELECTION-SCREEN OUTPUT.
  report = sy-repid.
  IF container IS INITIAL.
    CREATE OBJECT container
                 EXPORTING repid     = report
                           dynnr     = sy-dynnr
                           side      = container->dock_at_left
                           extension = 1070.
    CREATE OBJECT editor
                EXPORTING
                     parent     = container.
  ENDIF.
  wa_tlines = 'This is test before a change'.
  APPEND wa_tlines TO tlines.
  CALL METHOD editor->set_text_as_r3table
     EXPORTING
           table              =  tlines
     EXCEPTIONS
           OTHERS             = 1.
  CALL METHOD editor->go_to_line( 1 ).

  CLEAR tlines[].
  CALL METHOD editor->get_text_as_stream
            EXPORTING
            only_when_modified = '1'
            IMPORTING
            text = tlines
            is_modified = modon

              error_cntl_call_method = 2
              OTHERS = 3.
