Use of text symbol in webdynpro

Hello
I want to assign some text to a variable in webdynpro, that is not a screen field(just a normal variable).
Instead of hardcoding the text I just want to use a text symbol. Should I go for assistance class or OTR?
I tried using OTR.but it is not taking the value what I have stored.
check the below..
append 'Hello' to v_text.
instead of the above i wrote it like,
append text-001 to v_text, where text-001 is stored in OTR.
but after executing, v_text contains no value, instead it should take 'hello'.
Please help me out.

Hi,
Plz follow following threads.

Using Text Symbols In Webdynpro

Hi Experts,
   When i created a text symbol in my assistance class and provided it to my attribute via the set attribute method it is not working. Is there a different way of using Text Symbols or Text Elements
compared to normal ABAP Programming.
Thanks In Advance,
Chaitanya.

Thanks For Your Reply,
CALL METHOD l_if_el_node_header->set_attribute
    EXPORTING
     value =   TEXT-001
     name   = 'INPUT_STATE'.
where 001 is the text symbol 'Sym' which has been assigned to the text " DISPLAY MODE " in my
assistance class.
i am guessing we need not preceed 001 with TEXT in the above code , please reply with your inputs.
With Regards,
Chaitanya.

How to use long text editor in Webdynpro

hi ,
I want to use text editor in webdynpro. I want to save the data in long text.
My requirement is the format of data should remain same(It should not get changed).
Thanks
SK

Hi,
use text editor uielement and bind it with a attribute of type string. convert this string into a table using function module
fill another internal table which is type compatible with table of SAVE_TEXT function module.
CONVERT_STRING_TO_TABLE. Call the function module SAVE_TEXT to save this text.
you need to find proper tdobject and tdid value which is to be passed in importing parameter "header".
similarly use FM "READ_TEXT" and convert the returned data into string using FM CONVERT_TABLE_TO_STRING.
Bind the returned table to an attribute of your context. The data will be displayed in the same format in which you entered it.
Thanks

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).

Text Symbol in User exit

Hello Friends ,
I have a z - include ZX45AI91 in an user exit . I do not want to hard code the error message "Not authorized to update sales order at this level" instead use a Text symbol from the z - programs that triggers this exit .
When I use the text symbol it gives me an error message that Access key is required .
Please advise if this is possible
Thanks ,
Hari

I think you are not getting my point .
This is what is currently in the code :
if l_user_level < approved_level.
 message e999 with 'Not authorized to update sales order at this level'.
 endif.
I want to be able to use like :
if l_user_level < approved_level.
 message e999 with text-054.
 endif.
The text-054 is a text element in any z program .
Is this possible ?
Thanks

How to use the separate symbol in the text field in the adobe form.

Hi,experts,
I dont know how to use the separate symbol to make a paragraph separate into several lines correctly in the text field in the adobe form.
Action:
1. config the ADS successfully.
2. create the adobe form with a mult-line textfield(binding the 'remark' context in the interface of the form) using sfp.
3. create a WDA for invoke the form and transfer the 'remark' context data.
I use the following codes to display the paragraph in the PDF document:
CONCATENATE
'1、aaaaaaaaaaa；'
'2、bbbbbbbbb '
'3、ccccccccccc'
'4、ddddddddd'
INTO remark .
lo_nd_z_hr_php_payslip->set_attribute(
EXPORTING
name = `REMARK`
value = remark ).
But I found all the content aren't paragraph separate correctly in the text field in the adobe form when I run the WDA.
Could you please give me some hints to make the paragraph separate correctly in PDF document? Thanks a lot in advance!
My email is : [email protected]

Hi,
If it is just a one word value then you could use this in the exist event;
this.rawValue
= util.printx(">?<*",this.rawValue);
This changes the first character (represented by the ?) to uppercase (represented by the >) and all trailing characters (represented by the *) to lowercase (represented by the <).
If you wanted something more general ... if they could also enter a middle name then you could call a function like;
function toTitleCase(textValue)
return textValue.toLowerCase().replace(/\b[a-z]/g, function replacer(match) { return match.toUpperCase(); });
This uses a regex to change all lowercase letters following a word boundary to uppercase.

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

How can you determine which pages are using a specific symbol?

I want to find all the pages that are using a specific symbol, but I don't know how. I can't simply switch symbols because some have specific text & want to switch them with more generic smart buttons. I'll have to find every instance to update the text.
thanks!

me too, my file has 39 pages with many unuse symbols, now I want to delete those unuse.
I found that after deleteing those unuse in Page 1, actually they are being used in other page,
I can't find the way to delete them all at one time for all pages.
and I am using CS3

Assigning a Value to a Text Symbol: DEFINE

Hi all,
I am printing some text in the form. The text is in the database table and is retrieved. say the field name is fld06 in the table ztfin. Previously it is code as &zfin-fld06& in the form edotir. Now my requiremnet is to dispay some other text where ever I have to print ztfin-fld06. I have used the define statement in this way :
/: DEFINE &ztfin-fld06& = 'Data Fattura'
But when I look at the output the text is not replaced nor it is realised while I am debugging. Can anyone tellme where I am going wrong ?
Regards,
Varun.

hi
chk this out
DEFINE: Value assignment to text symbols
Text symbols receive their value through an explicit assignment. This assignment can be made interactively in the editor via the menu options Include Symbols Text. This lists all the text symbols of a text module, as well as those of the allocated layout set.
The contents defined in this way are lost if the transaction is exited. To continue printing the text module, you would have to enter the symbol values again.The DEFINE command allows you to anchor this value assignment firmly in the text, to also have it available when you next call up the text. Furthermore, you can allocate another value to a text symbol in
the course of the text.
Syntax:
/: DEFINE &symbolname& = value
Example:
/: DEFINE &re& = Your correspondence of 3/17/94
Example:
/: DEFINE &symbol1& = xxxxxxx
/: DEFINE &symbol2& = yyy&symbol1&
/: DEFINE &symbol1& = zzzzzzz
Result: &symbol2& yyyzzzzzzz
The assigned value may have a maximum of 60 characters. It can also contain further symbols. When a symbol is defined using the control command DEFINE, symbols which occur in the value are not immediately replaced by their value. They are only replaced when the target symbol is output. If the operator := is used in the DEFINE statement, all symbols which occur in the value which is to be assigned are immediately replaced by their current values. The resulting character string is only then assigned to the target symbol when all occurring symbols have been replaced. The length of the value is limited to 80 characters. The target symbol must be a text symbol, as at present.
Syntax:
/: DEFINE &symbolname& := value
u can also write a perform...endperform to change the value of a field to ur required text.

Text symbol for automatic insertion of file and page data

In Visio I have a footer on my wireframe pages that includes text symbols referencing data about the file (document name, last edited) and also the number of the page. These symbols automatically update as the data changes. I can do something similar in InDesign and Word.
I cannot seem to find a way to do this in Fireworks. Perhaps I just don't know what the feature is called?
--Jim

Apologies, but you weren't particularly clear on the problems you were having in your prior post, so I was just making sure you actually found the shapes.
You didn't ask about customizing the shapes either. If you had, we might have been able to save you the time. Auto shapes have very specific editable on-canvas features. The rest is controlled under the hood by JavaScript. It's quite likely that - had you opened the JS file - you could have made some of those edits. That's the cool thing about these shapes. You CAN change things.
I don't pretend to be a JS guru, but when I opened the JSF file, I was able to find the variables for changing font color, size, fill color and whether the text automatically expands to fill the box, in few minutes.
On the canvas, I can use the Subselection tool to change the width of the box and its fill, as well as the size of the text block. I can use the customize command for the shape itself to place each piece of information on a separate line.Will you get a warning message when you resize the rectangle? Yes, because you are altering the base parameters of an object controlled by JS. Does it have a negative impact on the shape? No.
As for autonumbering of Pages, I isaid that this is an automatic feature in FW. You have no control over it in the current version and as I said, I do not beleive the numbering is carried over to a PDF. Beside each page name you will see a 2 digit number - that is what I was referring to.
If you do not manually name your pages, FW will also name them onthe sequence in which they were created, Page 1, Page 2 etc. FW will NOT change that name if you change the order of the pages; it sill only update the sequence number.
As you said yourself, you are new to Fireworks. Don't throw in the towel because of one negative experience, which could have been resolved with more knowledge of the software, or additional questions in the forum. And remember that Fireworks is not just a wireframing tool; it is also a design tool.

What is a text symbol, what does it do (other than mess with my doc)?

I am working with FM8 in Tech Comm Suite 1 on Windows XP.
Some of my docs have text symbols sprinkled liberally throughout the text. I know you can select the option not to view the text symbols, but they still show up in FM and PDFs and RoboHelp and play havoc with the spacing.
What are text symbols?
What purpose do they serve?
How can you make sure they aren't inserted when creating a doc?
Is there any way to get rid of them easily?
Thanks for the help that I know will soon be coming.
M

To clarify, text symbols are one of FrameMaker's visual guides that can be optionally displayed in a FrameMaker document window to indicate the location of something else. A text symbol appears as a special character, but never prints or appears in PDF. However, the represented object may indeed affect the way the published document appears. As explained in the FM 9 User Guide, there are text symbols for an end of paragraph, end of flow, tab, anchored frame, table anchor, marker, forced return, equation alignment point, nonbreaking space, discretionary hyphen, and suppress hyphenation. You turn text symbols on and off with the View > Text Symbols command. Doing so does not affect the content of your document; it just helps you locate where the represented objects occur.
Thus, the problem you are having is not text symbols per se, but the object represented by a text symbol. As others have commented, the tab character can produce the observed results. Viewing text symbols can help you locate the tab characters. While tab characters can be inserted automatically in an autonumber or, in a structured document, in a prefix or suffix, they can also be entered from the keyboard, by pasting, or by converting a document that contains them from another format. You can find tabs that are not automatic using Edit > Find/Change. Type \t as the text you want to find. If you wish you can do a global change to remove all the tabs in the document or change them all to spaces.
