Hi,

To create the text elements the path is GOTO->Text Elements->Text symbols.

We can use them directly as text-xxx(here XXX is the number of text element) in our reports.

The main purpose of these text-elements are

1.To avoid hard coded values in the program.

2.These are language dependent text and can be working for any logon language.

Rgds,

Hi,

To create text symbols, Goto->text elements->text symbols.

A text symbol is a named data object that is generated when you start the program from the texts in the text pool of the ABAP program. It always has the data type C. Its field length is that of the text in the text pool.

Text symbols, along with the program title, list headings, and selection texts, belong to the text elements of a program. Text elements allow you to create language-independent programs.

Any text that the program sends to the screen can be stored as a text element in a text pool.

Different text pools can be created for different languages. When a text element is changed or translated, there is no need to change the actual program code. Text elements in an ABAP program are stored in the ABAP Editor

in se38 ...in menu bar select GOTO--~~->textelements~~-->select text symbols/list heading/selection text.

we use text elements to avoid hard coading in the program.

for example in if u select selection text--~~-give 000~~-----the text which u want 2 print.

and in report u can call text-000.

in selection text if u declare any select options or parameters u can see there

select options kd_lifnr like lifnr....in u r report program.

then u can see

KD_LIFNR u can give the text here.

the text elements can be used to display the custom made text message in logon language

Hi,

in order to concise the program we have to use the text elements & selection texts.

for example if you want to give the message in various conditions which is of very long.

message s018(ztest) with text-z21.

here the text element z21 which is very long. if you want to use several times it looks like tidious.

reward if helpful.
