Hey Rita -

Do you already know the Sales Order numbers and the line items you want to read the long text for?  If so, then an rFM might be easier, using RFC_READ_TEXT. You need to provide the Text Name, which is the concatenation of the sales order number and the line item number (including the leading zeroes), and then you would also tell it which specific long texts you wanted to download. This info is available if you go into the specific long text and go to menu option Goto > Header.

You could hard code those within the script or map them if you want them to be changeable. 

I've attached my example for Sales Order > Line Item > Item note. I've hard coded everything in my example except the Text Name.

Thank you!

Hi Rita -

There are various resources on the Direct module of Winshuttle Studio:

• We have a Direct training on our new eLearning platform: https://community.winshuttle.com/browse/training
• There is a presentation from the 2017 WUG: https://winshuttle-wug.s3.amazonaws.com/presentations/2017-atlanta/Direct.pdf
• There is a WUGinar recording: https://www.winshuttle.com/assets/webinar-wuginar-how-to-use-studio-direct-to-leverage-sap/
• We have our standard Studio documentation: https://docs.winshuttle.com/studio-en-12-1-x-online-help-studio-w-connect/12/BAPI-script.htm

The above learning resources are all on how to use Winshuttle Studio's Direct module with BAPIs and rFMs in general, not specific ones. Unless the BAPIs or rFMS were written by Winshuttle, Winshuttle does not provide specific documentation for how to use them with Direct. Most of the BAPIs and rFMS are written by SAP and some of them have documentation, and sometimes that documentation is helpful. Mostly, I just google how to use a particular BAPI / rFM by name and tend to have good luck finding information that way. 

Thank you!

Thank you so much Jennifer.  It worked!!!  I really didn't know how to create a script to read a Function Module; is there any documentation on your web-site specific to that?

 

Again, thank you thank you thank you!!
