Documentation
Definition
Two-character name of a character string. The character string name can comprise letters and figures, but must begin with a letter.
In the SAPscript editor, character strings start with the character combination and end with the character combination , where "XX" is the name of the character string.
By including a section of text within the start and end marker, this section is assigned certain attributes, such as bold face or underlining.
A character string is, at a maximum, effective to the end of the paragraph in which it was started.
Example: If the following text is entered in the editor
...<U>Care is required with underlining</>...
this text is underlined when output, as long as the attribute "Underline" is activated in the definition of the character string "U".
Character strings can be defined in the style and form maintenance. The character string attributes are maintained via the style and form maintenance. In the SAPscript editor, the character string attributes can be displayed but not changed.
