Prerequisites

  2. You want to add the fully qualified literal of a text symbol without displaying a notation.

In the source code, you want to replace the text content of a text symbol with a notation.

REPORT adt_text_symbols.
WRITE:/ 'This text needs to be replaced with another text ID'(001).

Procedure

  1. In the source code, select the literal or the text key in brackets.
  2. In the context menu, choose Quick Fix or use the shortcut (Ctrl 1).
  3. In the Quick Fix dialog box, select – Remove literal for text 001 to replace the text content in the source code editor with a notation.
    The Preview Changes dialog is opened.
  4. Check the preview and select Finish.
