Types Of Texts in Smartforms

• Texts are used to display data on the smartform layout.

Types of Texts in Smartforms :-

1. Text Element :-

• These are not reusable texts.
• They are dedicated to one smartform only.
• That means, once we use them in one smartform, we cannot reuse them again.

2. Text Module :-

• It is a reusable text.
• It is a reusable text for smartforms.

3. Include Text :-

• It is also a reusable text.

• But comparing it with Text module, we can reuse it in smartforms, programs etc.

  Transaction code for Include Text :-

  • SO10.

  Function Module to display Include Text :-

  • READ_TEXT

4. Dynamic Texts :-

• This text is used to display the text at run time in smartform.

  ( Pre - defined table type - TSFTEXT )

1. Practical Implementation for Text Elements :-

• We have already implemented text elements in the smartform which we have created.

  
  
  

  
  

---

2. Practical Implementation for Text Module :-

• We can create text module in smartform though SMARTFORMS transaction code only.

  
  
  

  
  

• We can use the text, module in the same way as we create text elements.

3. Practical Implementation for Include Text :-

• Go to SO10 transaction code.

  
  
  

  
  

• Click on create button.

• Write the text.

• In the header, section you can see its details

  
  
  

  
  

• Use it in your smartform

  
  
  

  
  

Using Include text in Program :-

*&---------------------------------------------------------------------*
*& Report ZAR_INC_TEXT
*&---------------------------------------------------------------------*
*&
*&---------------------------------------------------------------------*
REPORT ZAR_INC_TEXT.

DATA : lt_line type table of TLINE.

4. Dynamic Texts Implementation :-

• We can use this text, for passing text to smartform at the runtime.

• We have a built in table type ( TSFTEXT ) which we can use for the same purpose.
