Hi
Text elements in SAPscript are the individual text components of a form. In the different windows, you can define text elements with different attributes. For printout, the print program accesses them. Text elements can also contain variables (symbols) and SAPscript control statements.
In simple words, Text Elements are the only way to transfer the data from report program to FORM using WRITE _FORM FM.

You can define the text elements in sap script to group the texts that you want to display...like a condition..
Ex..
/E TEXT1
P1 This is a first text element..
Then use WRITE_FORM function module to call the text element
CALL FUNCTION 'WRITE_FORM'
ELEMENT = 'TEXT1'.
You can also call the write_form function module within a loop..

Use of text elements in wirte_form function module.

Hi guru's,
Could any one tell me what is the use of text elements in write_form functional module SAP SCRIPTS. As per my knowledge text elements are used for multi language purpose is there any other advantage other than that.
Thanks in advance.
Vardhan.

Hello.
A text element is a block in script that can be written several times in your document. You can put fixed texts, variables, include texts, images, etc etc
When you see WRITE_FORM, element 'X', you know that everything that is inside element /E X of your script is writen. It's very usefful to organize your script, and it eases to construct a very complex script.
It's also usefull to translations in SE63.
Best regards.

Use of text element in function module

hi friends what is the use of text element i.e list headings, selection texts,text symbols in a function module. where a can see these things after giving some text into it and activated.

hi
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 (see Text Element Maintenance).
In the text pool, each text symbol is identified by a three-character ID. Text symbols have a content, an occupied length, and a maximum length.
Examples for text symbols in an ABAP program:
ID
Contents
Occupied length
Maximum length
010
Text symbol 010
15
132
030
Text symbol 030
15
100
AAA
Text symbol AAA
15
15
In the program, you can address text symbols using the following form:
text-###
This data object contains the text of the text symbol with ID ### in the logon language of the user. Its field length is the same as the maximum length of the text symbol. Unfilled characters are filled up with spaces. You can address text symbols anywhere in a program where it is also possible to address a variable.
If there is no text symbol ### in the text pool for the logon language, the name text-### addresses the predefined data object space instead.
You can also address text symbols as follows:
... 'textliteral'(###) ...
If the text symbol ### exists in the text pool for the logon language, this is the same as using text-###. Otherwise, the literal 'textliteral' is used as the contents of the text symbol. This is only possible at positions in the program where a variable can occur. You can create a text symbol for any text literal by double-clicking the literal in the ABAP Editor and replacing the literal with the text symbol.
You should use text symbols in your program whenever they need to be language-specific - for example, in a WRITEstatement.
If you program a list whose layout depends on field lengths, you should be careful, since the field length of text symbols will be different in different languages. You should therefore set the maximum field length of the field symbol so that there is enough space to translate it into other languages. For example, the English word 'program' has seven letters, but its equivalent German translation 'Programm' has eight.
The following example shows the use of text symbols in WRITE statements.
SET BLANK LINES ON.
WRITE: text-010,
 / text-aaa,
 / text-020,
 / 'Default Text 030'(030),
 / 'Default Text 040'(040).
If the text symbols of the above screen shots are linked to this program, the output looks as follows:
Text symbols 020 and 040 have no text symbols. For text symbol 020, the system displays a space. This is only displayed in this case because the blank line suppression has been turned off (see Creating Blank Lines).

What is the main use of text elements in program.

Hi Experts,
Can any body please explain, why we have to maintain text elements in program.
is it only for avoiding hot coding or else any thing.
Please explain.And why we have to avoid hot coding with text elements.
regards,
developer.

Hi,
Text elements are used to store text , the basic purpose of using this is that the same program can be run in diffrent languages and so the titles/headers must be in the language the program is execued , if you hardcode it in the program this will not work , so we use a text elemnt and the system selects the language for the text element based on the language in which the user has logged in.
You can search in forums, you will get lots of answers
Type your key word in sarch text box and press enter, if not found relevant answer, select datae range to all...
answers from other forums.
Hi
They are useful when the program is used in other languages.
So that they are automatically converted to that language.
So define the texts in the text elements and use their ID's like (TXT-05) in the code
don't sue the complete texts in the program.

nazeer

What is the use of text elements in scripts

pls tell me what is text element?can we use this in any window or only in main window ?
pls explain briefly with some coading .and onbe more question what is the lement that is used in our abap editor

<a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_47x200/helpdata/EN/images/locate.gif">Text Elements of a Form</a>
SAPscript calls the individual text components of a form text elements. To achieve good structuring and readability, you assign a fixed name to each text element in the form. The print program then uses these names to access the elements. This name applies also for translated versions of a text element, while the contents of the text elements depend on the language.
Text elements are related to a window, that is, a print program can call for each window only those text elements that exist in this window. They are used in main and other windows.
The variables used within '&...&' are replaced by the system at output time
/E <element name>
UL &fieldnam& text text
Named element are written when driver program use
 CALL FUNCTION 'WRITE_FORM'
 EXPORTING
 ELEMENT = 'BOOKING'
 TYPE = 'BODY'
 WINDOW = 'MAIN'
Unnamed element are written once in MAIN windows, and each time in other windos.

Is it good practice to define text elements in User exits & there by using?

Hi Experts,
Simple doubt that, am wrting code in a User Exit. So, here my code works only, if the DOC TYPE = 'XXX'.
So, instead of using hard coding as 'XXX', I wuld like to use a text element, like
if DOC TYPE = text-xxx.
my logic.
endif.
and creating the same text element.
so, let me know that,
Is it safe/recommended to use text-element in exits?
Is it good practice to define text elements in User exits?
thanq

u can also use SET ID's if u dont want to hardcode like that in ur program.
if u use SET ids , no need of transport request in case of change in the DOC types , directly u can change values in that set it , its like a master id.
sytax will be like this
doc_type in g_doc_type(this is set id ).
for creation of set ids see tcode GS01.

How to use the text module in script

hi,
i script how to use the text modules and how to write the code in layout of the script?

Hi,
You canr use text modules in script. You have to use standard texts .
Standard text are maintained in SO10 transaction.
you can create translation text for other languages also . So based on logon language it will print translation text.
go to SO10
give textname it say Ztextname id as ST and language as EN
say create, then you will get editor there maintain your text and save it . then come back . Now change language (say for german DE) say create and eneter translation text and save it.
so now you have created a text called ztextname which you can use in your script.
Inorder to insert the texts in your script do as below
go to any window editor and select path
Insert->texts->symbols->standard symbols
then you will get popup in which you have to mention all the parameters that you have created earlier.
after inserting just change language EN to sy-langu

Smartform u0096 SO10 Vs Text Elements for Lang translation

Hi,
I have lot of text elements to be created in smartform, which needs to be translated in different languages. I would like to know the best approach. Is it better to create S010 objects and have them maintained in different language or is it better to maintain as text elements and then get them translated via SE63.
Can some please suggest the best approach with reason for the same?
Thanks,
Vimal

hi
It is better to create in SO10 because if you want those elements in feature for any other purpose you can directly use those text elements.

I have been pulling my hair out for a few days trying to find
this solution. This fixed my problems as well.
I was getting ready to scrap the Report Builder altogether
and move to SQL Server Reporting Services over this issue.
I'm running 7.0.2 also, that version alone fixed many small
issues like creating borders and such.

Text element in smartforms

Hi guys,
What is the use of text elements in smartforms? I am getting confused. For texts, we generally use text modules rite? So what is the difference between the two. Wehn am i to use text element and when am i to choose text module. Please explain me in detail
Regards,
Prem

Hi,
Text Elements (locally in form)
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 in the text When processing the form, SAP Smart Forms replaces these fields with the corresponding values
Text Modules (for reusing texts)
You can use text modules to store texts that frequently appear in your forms which is stored 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.
