Text symbols - These are used to display some text.

For e.g.: Error messages, heading for selection screen block.

Selection texts - These are automatically populated when you declare some selection screen variables.

For e.g.: Parameters, selection options.

We provide some user friendly field labels here.

Thanks,

Selection texts are used to statically define the label assocatied with an input field on the selection screen, whether it be a parameter or a select-option. Text Symbols can be used anywhere in your program, from the selection-screen or simply to hold certain text for writing out to the list. You can reference these like so.

Write:/ TEXT-001.

Here 001 is the text symbol identifier.

Hi Venkat,

Text Elements/Symbols contains a Text which can be used and display the text anywhere in your program.

Ex: write text-001.

Selection-Text is nothing but a label assocatied for a input field on the selection screen. It can be used for parameter or select-option on the selection screen.

Hope this helps.
