I have a requirement wherein I need to copy the purchase order line text i.e. tdpur401.txta (text) to a .txt file on server.

Request some advise on any function that might help fulfill this requirement...

Found solution for my requirement..

We can use text.read() function for

text.read()

Syntax:

function long text.read (string text_field, string lang, string kw1, string kw2, string kw3, string kw4, ref string tgroup, ref string edit_opt, string tmp_file, long lock [, string rtf_file])

Description


This reads a specified text and stores it in a temporary file.

Arguments

string text_field The name of the text field that must be read. See Text fields overview.

If the text number of the specified field is 0, a subprocess is started, which lists the texts associated with the current company and enables the user to select the text to be read.

If no text is found, or if you abort the subprocess, text_field returns 0. Otherwise, it returns the text number of the retrieved text.

string lang The language for which the text must be retrieved.

string kw1 These return the key words associated with the specified text.

string kw2
string kw3
string kw4
ref string tgroup This returns the name of the text group to which the text is assigned.

ref string edit_opt This returns the default window type for the text.

string tmp_file The name of the file in which the text must be stored. If this is an empty string, no text is retrieved and the function returns 0.

long lock By default, a lock is applied to the text field when it is read. To read the field without lock, set this argument to 0.

[string rtf_file ] The name of the file in which the RTF version of the text must be stored. This is an optional argument. The usage of this argument depends on the settings of the text group as defined in the tgroup argument. If this is an empty string, no text is retrieved and the function returns 0.


Return values

>0 success; returns the number of lines read

0 no text found or subprocess aborted

-1 no permission
