Displaying Icons on Screens in Release 3.0
As of Release 3.0, you can display icons on
screens. To achieve this, you
use either the Screen Painter or, if you want to set an icon dynamically from an ABAP program, the function
module ICON_CREATE. Include <ICON> in your program so that you can address the icons by their symbolic names. Ensure that the
screen field intended
to contain an icon at runtime is at least as long as the identically named ABAP field. Apart from the icon name, the field should also be able to accommodate a short information text.
