Text symbols are defined locally in your own document and are usable only in the document in which they are defined.
You can, for example, define a standard term or text passage once in your document and then include it where it is needed by way of its symbol name.
Define a text symbol with the DEFINE command:
/: DEFINE <symbolname>='Symbol text'
Program symbols draw data from tables in the program that you need to retrieve the data for the SAPscript document you want to print. In addition, you can include all globally defined data as program symbols. Therefore, the tables must be defined in the ABAP Dictionary. This type of symbol is used to make data from the SAP applications available in such SAPscript documents as checks and correspondence.
To access these symbols, choose Include ® Symbols ® Program.
