Hi,
We tried with the Read_Text FM 1ly but still its not fetching into the Internal Table.
The code we used is given below
<b>THEADIN = THEAD.
LOOP AT IT_MAKT_DETL.
MAT_SPRA = 'E'.
MAT_NAME = IT_MAKT_DETL-MATNR.
CALL FUNCTION 'READ_TEXT'
  EXPORTING
   CLIENT                        = SY-MANDT
    ID                           = 'GRUN'
    LANGUAGE                     = MAT_SPRA
    NAME                         = MAT_NAME
    OBJECT                       = 'MATERIAL'
   ARCHIVE_HANDLE                = 0
IMPORTING
   HEADER                        = THEADIN
  TABLES
    LINES                        = MAT_DESC
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.
      ADD_DESC = 0.
      LOOP AT MAT_DESC WHERE NOT TDLINE IS INITIAL.
        IF ADD_DESC = 0.
        MOVE MAT_DESC-TDLINE(50) TO ADD_DATA1.
        ENDIF.
        IF ADD_DESC = 1.
        MOVE MAT_DESC-TDLINE(50) TO ADD_DATA2.
        ENDIF.
        IF ADD_DESC = 2.
        MOVE MAT_DESC-TDLINE(50) TO ADD_DATA3.
        ENDIF.
        IF ADD_DESC = 3.
        MOVE MAT_DESC-TDLINE(50) TO ADD_DATA4.
        ENDIF.
        IF ADD_DESC = 4.
        MOVE MAT_DESC-TDLINE(50) TO ADD_DATA5.
        ENDIF.
        ADD_DESC = ADD_DESC + 1.
        IF ADD_DESC = 5.
          EXIT.
        ENDIF.
      ENDLOOP.
    ENDIF.
CLEAR ADD_DATA1.
CLEAR ADD_DATA2.
CLEAR ADD_DATA3.
CLEAR ADD_DATA4.
CLEAR ADD_DATA5.
CLEAR MAT_DESC.
REFRESH MAT_DESC.
CLEAR THEADIN.
ENDLOOP.</b>
If there is any defect or bug in the code pls suggest me.
As far as i know it seems to be ok for me.
