In this IMG activity, you check the symbols you generated in the IMG activity Create Report Symbols. You can create new symbols if required.

The following example illustrates how you define a symbol:

You want to create a parameter symbol that transfers the name of a supplier.

  1. Specify a table field in the DDIC in which the supplier's name is stored (example: SWX_BANF-SUPPLIER).
  2. Choose New Entries and enter the following data:
Report symbol type:   02 Input help exists
Report symbol:   SUPPLIER (Example)
Report symbol group:   02 Input help exists
Access key parameter:   Table (Example, reference to table field)
Value asset type:   _ (Not applicable for table fields)
Expansion time:   20 (10 = report body, 20 = final report)
Expansion mode:   NM (Numeric processing or processing method)
Expansion parameter:   N (Processing mask (numeric))
Expansion value:   Z999,99 (4 places before the decimal point and 2 after)
Report symbol desc.:   Supplier (Example)
Table name:   LIPS
Field name:   ARKTX
Class type:   _ (Not applicable for table fields)
Class:   _ (Not applicable for table fields)
Characteristic:   _ (Not applicable for table fields)

  1. Save your new symbol.

You can now use this symbol in document templates.

Note:

Generated symbols are assigned an alphanumeric key. This key is generated from the keys of the referenced data object following a specific algorithm.
Manually defined symbols can be assigned any alphanumeric key, for example, YCUST-NAME for customer name. We recommend that you use a self-explanatory key. The symbol table is of type G. Thus, the table contains both SAP entries as well as customer entries. The generic namespaces Y and Z are reserved for customer entries.

Once a symbol has been used in a document template it can no longer be deleted. Its attributes cannot be changed either.
