Hi experts,

I created some text elements with my program.

I am trying to add them into my TO using program RSTXTRAN. But it didn’t work (Message : No texts were selected)

Could someone show me the right procedure to follow.

Thanks.

Amine

Hi Amine,

Program RSTXTRAN is for adding a standard text object (SO10) to a transport. What you have created are text elements within your program.

When you created these text elements and clicked the SAVE button, the system should have automatically prompted you for a transport. You can confirm this by looking through your transports for an entry for "Report Texts" (Program ID LIMU, Object Type REPT) belonging to your program.

Is there a reason you're trying to manually add these texts to a transport?

Cheers,

Amy

Hi Amy,

My TO contains only the name of the program. I can’t see any task or something referring to the text elements.I tried to modify one of them and save again, didn't work.

May be it’s due to our system settings (Transport management).

Hi Maverick,

What he means by adding manual entry R3TR PROG ?

My transport order was generated automatically while creating the program and it contains already these information.

Thx

basically when your program goes then defaultly all the selection text and text elements are also transported... did you transported and checked whether your selection texts have transported or not ... ??

hi Amine,

When you create a new program, text elements of that program gets attached with the same transport request as of the program. In that case, there is no need to explicitly create transport request for text elements.

But make sure that text elements are active or not.

If you are copying existing program to a new program, then we have to explicitly assign text elements to the transport request. We can do this by changing a text element and revert it back again. Then it asks for a transport request. Now, you can give the same transport request of the program for the text elements also. Active the text elements.

To make sure whether text elements got attached to the transport request or not, go to SE10 -> Request No -> See whether there is a node with Program Texts under your transport request. If it is not there, text elements are not there under that request.

I didn’t transport yet this program.
But I already tried before with another program and it failed and I had to create manually the text elements.
Normally I should see an object in my Transport Order referring to text element. No?

when you first create a selection text it would have asked for a TR always assign the TR of the program ..... may be in the previous program you assigned the selection text to a different TR...
do one thing try n edit your text element and see if a task/object is added in your request.... it will create an object entry like LIMU REPT

Thanks for your explanations Karthik.

Unfortunately I can't see any nodes under my transport request with texts …

I tried differnt combination with technical and text names. None of them is working.

This is crazy !

Could someone tell me if he sees something wrong on my screens (sorry I just change the name of TO for confidentiality reasons)?

Thx

Hi Amine,

OK, I thought maybe you were adding text elements to a pre-existing program. If this is a brand new program, the text elements will be included in the R3TR PROG object entry. If you later release this transport and then decide to make changes to the program's text elements, then you will be prompted for transport and a LIMU REPT object entry will be created.

You should be fine as-is if this is a new program.

Cheers,
Amy

I just called an Abap expert.

He tolds me the same as you.

Thanks Amy. Question solved.
