ATC检查-prio 3消息-“字符串中缺少文本元素”

Question

I am getting message "Text element missing in a character string" during ATC Checks for constant.

CONSTANTS c_north TYPE c LENGTH 5 VALUE 'North'.

How can i remove "Text element missing in a character string",

Please let me know what is the best solution.

Answer 1

The message is issued, because of a hardcoded text, which cannot be translated. To simply remove the message you have to use a pragma, add ##NO_TEXT before (!) the line closing dot:

CONSTANTS c_north TYPE c LENGTH 5 VALUE 'North' ##NO_TEXT.

This removes the message, however does not solve the original problem, that the hardcoded text cannot be translated (which can be an issue in a multi-language system landscape). To overcome this you can create a text element in the program and use the text element instead of the constant.

You can also use Extenden Program Check (Ctrl + F4 or just below ATC in the menu) as well, which in many cases gives more detailed information about weak points in the program and how to overcome these.
