Displaying Symbols and Icons on the List

You can output certain symbols or icons on a list by using the following syntax:

        
WRITE symbolname AS SYMBOL.
        
WRITE ikonenname AS ICON.
         

The names of symbols and icons symbolname and ikonenname 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 program or the more comprehensive INCLUDE program <LIST> into your program. For further information about importing INCLUDE programs, see Using Include Programs .

        
INCLUDE <symbol>.
        
INCLUDE <icon>.
        
WRITE: / 'Telefon Symbol:', sym_phone AS SYMBOL.
        
SKIP.
        
WRITE: / 'Alarm Ikone: ', icon_alarm AS ICON.
         

This produces the following output:

You can replace both the above INCLUDE statements with one single INCLUDE statement:

INCLUDE <list>.
