Understanding SE32 - ABAP Text Element Maintenance

This document details about the features provided by the transaction SE32 (ABAP Text Element Maintenance)
For our demo purpose, we have created the following program without adding any Text Symbols.

Now let us go to transaction SE32, enter the program name and click on Analysis.

You would get the following report:

Let us understand the three options in detail:


1.

Text symbols that can be deleted from the text pool. This is highlighted when there are any unused text
symbols in the program.

2.

Text symbols that need to be added to the text pool. This is highlighted if there are any text symbols
mentioned in the program but are not maintained as text symbols.

3.

Text symbols defined repeatedly / differently in program. This is highlighted when there is a mismatch of
the text symbol with the one maintained in the code.

Since there arent any text symbols maintained in our program, it is obvious that the above tests would be
passed.
Now let us modify our program by including text symbols with some differences as shown below (to be
highlighted in the tool):

Maintain the Text Symbols as below:

Let us rerun the tool for our program:

This time you can observe that we have the results in edit mode and all the three radio buttons highlighted.
Select the first radio button and click on EDIT:

The text symbol 003 is not used and hence can be deleted. If you click on DELETE button, the text symbol
would be deleted.
Now go back to previous screen and select the second radio button:

This shows the Text Symbols that have to be added:

By clicking on the change button, this text symbol would be added.


Now go back to the previous screen and run the report for the third option:

This shows the difference in the text symbol that has been maintained.

Rerun the report after correcting all the errors. You would get the following screen (means no errors).
