text element

Former Member — Thu, 08 Nov 2007 21:58:45 GMT

Hi Gurus,

I am working on an interface where I used fre write statements using hard code, such as:

Write:/10 'Name',

10 '----

' .

and now I have been told by my manager that I need to use text elements instead of hard code values, can you please tell me how can I take care of this.

Thanks

Do like this:

write: /10 text-a01,
10 text-a02.

Now, press F2 on Text-a01, system will ask you to create a new text-element with name A01.. say yes...

This will bring you to Text Element maintainence of the report.

Symbol ... Text

A01 Name ....(press enter)

A02 -

(press enter..)

Save and Activate.

Write:/10 text-001 .

To create text element Double click on text-001.

You will see the TextSymbol Screen with text-001 under Sym column..

in front of this write NAME . Save and activate ..

When ever Write system comes in running program it retrieves Text from here and output the same .

Hope this Helps .

Thanks Praveen

Just double click on your text constants. They will be converted to text elements by the system.
