I am reading SAP Long Text using FM READ_TEXT but the return from that function

module have special character combination such as : ‘&’ ‘<‘ ‘>’.

For Example :

Me & You , but i get Me <(> & <)> You.

First before we tell you how to fix this problem, i will try to explain what is cause this
problem, the FM READ_TEXT return text in ITF ( Interchange Text Format ) you need to
explain into plain text, to fix this problem you need to run FM
CONVERT_ITF_TO_ASCII.

1 CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERT_ITF_TO_ASCII'
