Text Symbols

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have hard coded the text for the buttons as follows--->

lr_buttonui3->SET_TEXT( 'Order Details' ).

I wanted to make use text symbols.

But when i click on Goto->Text Symbols it says

"No assistance class entered for compon

POWL_TABLE_COMP"

Why do i need an Assistance Class in this case?

I am new to WebDynpro ABAP ...

Please Help!!!!

Hi Veena,

A text you write directly into your coding is not a text symbol. In this case - if you do not want the text to be translatable - there is no need to use an assistance class, but then you cannot go to the text symbols.

WD does not support text symbols on its own. The only possibility to access text symbols is to provide them at the assistance class.

Hi Veena,

If you are developing big components, normally there should be some code

which is repeatedly used in your component, Assistance class will give you

a place to modularise your component.

It is a normal class whose reference will be availabale to you as an attribute WD_ASSIST, and you can alos define text symbols in the assistance class and use it in your component.
