Dynamic text element (Text Symbols)

[Former Member]

Hi,

How can we make text element dynamic?

Ex:

If I want a text "Consider date g_date" where g_date is populated from program. Can I pass g_text like <b>text-001 g_text</b>?

Thanks.

Use a place holder like &1.

Then whenever you are using the text element

you could use TEXT-001 with g_text.

I gave

<b>l_msg_txt = text-009 with g_prev_date .</b>

<b>It is showing compilation error:

Incorrect arithmetic or bit expression: Instead of "WITH", an operator

(+, -, *, /, ... or BIT-AND, BIT-XOR, BIT-OR) was expected.</b>

Actually my requirement is to use this in a message. I don't want to create message class. Is it possible?

<b>message l_msg_txt type 'I'.</b>

Hi,

Use the Concatenate option,

data : g_text(10)

g_text = g_date

concatenate text-001 g_text into im_text separated by space.

If you need it for a message, just use a predefined generic one, i.e

MESSAGE s000(0k) WITH 'Consider date' gdate '' ''.

Then you don't even have to define 'Consider date' as a text-symbol. But you can. Then it is

MESSAGE s000(0k) WITH text-001 gdate '' ''.
