Hii

In SAP Script layout set we can use the SYMBOLS to print any variable data.

All symbols must be enclosed in &<Sym>&

Based on the Source from where the Symbol gets data the symbols are 4 types.

1. System symbols: Values are assigned by runtime like &PAGE& &DATE& etc

2. Program symbols : Variables of Print program

3. Standard symobls: maintained in DB table TTDTG.

4. Text symobls: created within the layout set using

/: DEFINE &SYM1& = 'INDIA'

you can find all the Symbols in the menu path:

INSERT->SYMBOLS in the Text editor of Text elements .
