Processing Texts from Within Programs

SAPscript texts are stored in the lines table in ITF format. This format consists of readable characters only and does not contain any hexadecimal codes < SPACE.

To process the lines table from within an application program, use the ABAP statements for table processing (LOOP, READ, INSERT, DELETE). Since the fields of structure TLINE are of type C, you can use all ABAP statements available for processing type C fields.

SAPscript offers a number of function modules to modify the text lines table, taking into account the syntax and semantics of the SAPscript ITF format.
