text environment
The text environment is part of the runtime environment of an
ABAP program and is made up of a language, a
locale and a
system codepage. All programs in an
internal session have a common text environment. As a default, the text environment of an internal session is determined by the
logon language and can
be set by the statement SET LOCALE. The language of the current text environment is contained in the
system field sy-langu.
