Hi

Text elements are the one which we create in a program for Language spcific related transports.

Text modules are the one which we create using SMARTFORMS tcode.

they are nothing but some lines of TEXT that can be included in Smartforms.

Reward if useful

hi,

Text elements are text literals displayed in a text node. These text elements are available for only that text node.

You can use text modules to store these texts centrally in the system. This detaches text maintenance from form maintenance, with the result that you do not need to call the Form Builder to edit individual texts.

text modules have the following attributes:

They can be used across clients

They are connected to the transport system

They are connected to the translation tools in the system

hi

good

TEXT ELEMENT->

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
