Displaying Symbols and Icons on the List
You can output symbols or R/3 icons on a list by using the following syntax:
Syntax
WRITE <symbol-name> AS SYMBOL.
WRITE <icon-name> AS ICON.
The names of symbols and icons (<symbol-name> and <icon-name>) are system-defined constants that are specified in the include programs <SYMBOL> and <ICON> (the angle brackets are part of the name). The includes also contain a short description of the symbols and icons. The easiest way to output symbols and icons is to use a statement structure (see the example in
Using WRITE via a Statement Structure).To make symbols and icons available to your program, you must import the appropriate include or the more comprehensive include <LIST> in your program. For further information about importing include programs, see
Using Include Programs.
INCLUDE <symbol>.
INCLUDE <icon>.
/ 'Phone Symbol:', SYM_PHONE AS SYMBOL.
SKIP.
WRITE: / 'Alarm Icon: ', icon_alarm AS ICON.
This produces the following output:
You can replace both the above INCLUDE statements with one single INCLUDE statement:
INCLUDE <list>.
