  • Message number: 661

  • Message text: There is no text module &1 for text format &2

  • Show details Hide details
  • What causes this issue?

    You want to work with a text format &V2& and therefore branch to an
    external text editor (rather than the SAPscript editor) or print via an
    external word processor.
    This external word processor is called via the function modules
    'EDIT_TEXT_FORMAT_&V2&' and 'PRINT_TEXT_FORMAT_&V2&'.
    These function modules are not provided by SAPscript. However, all
    other SAPscript functions such as READ_TEXT, SAVE_TEXT, DELETE_TEXT etc
    can be used.

    System Response

    The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

    How to fix this error?

    Create the two function modules 'EDIT_TEXT_FORMAT_&V2&' and
    'PRINT_TEXT_FORMAT_&V2&' and implement the call of the editor or
    printing by the external word processor.
