Standard Texts are the Texts that are maintained in SO10 Transaction.

They are stored with some ID and LANGUAGE.

They are included in the scripts/smartforms with INCLUDE statement

Text Modules

Text modules are used to centrally store texts that are used frequently in forms in the system.

Text modules are included in forms using texts nodes. The text node can either refer to the text module or take its text. You can then change the text or add to it to suit the form.

Text modules have the following attributes:

They are client-independent

They are connected to the transport system

They are connected to the translation tools in the system

The third attribute means that a text module can be uniquely assigned to a language using the logon language. When including a text module, you can also access translations of the text module, for example, to include an English text module in a German form.

Standard text. The text that is fixed.

You can create a standard text in so10 transaction so that you can use the same standard text in multiple locations instead of writing the same text all over, agaian anda agian in different forms.

For example, if you have some instructions to handle a machine on a label. YOu can create a standard text with all those instructions and use it in al the smartforms which should print those instructions.

hi,

Standard Texts are maintained in the standard text editor (transaction SO10).

Text can be reused in different scripts and smartforms.

Ex: company address is maintained as standard text.

You use the text type Text module of the text node to refer to an existing text module in the system. This allows you to easily use texts from text modules in several forms. In addition, it is not necessary to load the entire form description to maintain these texts.

Hi ,

In smartform there are three text types:

Text element : to enter new text in the PC editor

Text module : to include a text module

Include text : to include an existing SAPscript text

Including text modules:

Text module of the text node is used to refer to an existing text module in the system. The text modules can be used in two ways:

STEPS :

1) Refer to the text module. The text then appears read-only in the PC editor and

is included when the form is printed.

2) Copy the text module. The system then copies the text of the module and

automatically converts the text node into an editable text element.

3) To create a text node , call the context menu for that node in the tree

structure that shall contain the text and choose create->text

4) Enter a unique name for the node and a description

5) On the general attributes tab select the text type text module

6) Enter the name of the text module in the text name field

Standard Text:

It is nothing but Global Text.

Mainly we are using standard texts to avoid hardcoding in scripts or smartforms.

If you need to include the name of your company and address in the form you

just include a standard text in your form by include statement(script) and by

include text dropdown in forms. If in later part of time your company address

change you need to change the standard text not to touch the form. This is the

way standard text helps us.

The tcode for standard text id SO10.
