When u create a text in smartform u get the incl text, text element or text module options.

Text element - Its is sumthing which u create urself. Like in se38 progs u create text elemnts....similar to that.....

Include text: these are long texts in transactions which can be used while printing ur smartform. Include text contains:

Text name, Text object, Text ID, Language.

Eg. a sales order has a number of long texts. To find teh attributes, go to the TEXT tab of a SO in VA03. U will be able to see a details icon. click on that or double click on the text. U will come 2 a text editor, now on the menu select goto->header.

u can see the details!!

Hi Sandya,

Here are some distinguishing factors :

Include Text:

You use the text type Include text of the text node to refer to a SAPscript text that already exists in the system. To identify the text, you need the text name, the text object, the text ID, and the language. Thus, you can easily use the texts in several forms.This text type corresponds to the SAPscript statement INCLUDE.

Text Elements :

To include data from the form interface (data from application tables) or system data (date, time) into the text, use system fields or user-defined fields, respectively, in the text.

Hi,

There are three text types:

Ø      Text element : to enter new text in the PC editor

Ø      Text module : to include a text module

Ø      Include text : to include an existing SAPscript text

Entering texts in PC editor: 

Ø      To create a text node call the context menu for that node in the tree structure that should receive the text, then choose->text

Ø      Enter a unique name for the node and the node description

Ø      On the general attributes tab choose text element as text type

Ø      Enter the text in the PC editor

Ø      In the text node box choose whether the text should be started with a new paragraph or only in a new line

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:

Ø      Refer to the text module. The text then appears read-only in the PC editor and is included when the form is printed.

Ø      Copy the text module. The system then copies the text of the module and automatically converts the text node into an editable text element.

Ø      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

Ø      Enter a unique name for the node and a description

Ø      On the general attributes tab select the text type text module

Ø      Enter the name of the text module in the text name field

<b>
Including SAPscript texts:

One can use the text type include text node to refer to a SAPscript text that already exists in the system. To identify the text the text name, object, id and the language is needed.

Ø      To create the text node call the context menu for that node in the tree structure that shall receive the text and choose create -> text

Ø      Enter a unique name for the node and the node description

Ø      On the general attributes tab choose include text as text type</b>
