ABAP Program to Display SAP Icons

This page contains two ABAP programs. The first program lets you display all the SAP icons in a report. There is absolutely no need for this program because the transaction ICON does a much better job of this. You should use the tcode ICON to view all the existing SAP icons. This program also demonstrates the usage of field-symbols in ABAP.

The second program demonstrates how to display the icons in an SAP report. Pay special attention to the comments.

 

Program 1: ABAP Code to display all the SAP icons.
