Hi,

Text Elements (not symbols) are used to print the exact

values in the correct place from the Program to script

We write

Perform Write_form using <text element/symbol> <window>

so the content of this is exactly printed in that Window and in that Text Element.

Delete the page window(which you don't want to display on that page) from that Page , so that it is not displayed on that page.

reward if useful

what is the use of it ?

hi muttu,

There are four types of symbols available in script.

They are

1)standard symbol

2)program symbol

3)text symbol

4)system symbol.

we define the text symbol using,

/: DEFINE &CUST& = '21'.

symbols are placeholders for the values that are inserted during print formating.

Arun.
