ABAP Los símbolos de texto
Text Symbols
Text symbols are texts created within the scope of an ABAP program and can be used within the program whenever needed, instead of specifying texts within single quotes. They are independent objects of programs; hence, they need to be activated and transported to other environments and clients along with the programs and other objects.
Each program has its own text symbols. To access them, we should go to the menu: "Go to" -> "Text Elements" -> "Text Symbols". Utilizing these symbols in programs is crucial as it avoids HARDCODING.
Hardcoding: refers to a programming bad practice that involves directly including texts in the program code instead of using constants, text symbols, parameters, selection texts, or other sources.
Text symbols in a program are identified by a three-digit code preceded by the reserved word "TEXT", as we see below: TEXT-001, where 001 is the code corresponding to the text symbol. It's essential to remember that text symbols are independent objects of ABAP programs, so these objects must be activated, just like we activate the ABAP program.
