You create messages using the message maintenance tool (transaction SE91) and store them in database table T100. The following table shows the structure of database table T100.
Component | Meaning |
SPRSL | Single-character language key. |
ARBGB | 20-character (maximum) message class. The message class assigns messages to a specific area, such as an application area or a package. |
MSGNR | Three-digit (maximum) message number. The range between 900 and 999 is reserved for customers. |
TEXT | Short text with a maximum of 73 characters. You must create an explanatory long text when you maintain the message if the short text itself is not sufficiently explanatory. |
You can use placeholders in short and long texts which can be replaced by the content of data objects using the statement MESSAGE and the addition WITH. The placeholders in a short text can have the form "&i" or "&" and the placeholders in a long text can have the form "&Vi&", where i is a digit between 1 and 4. If you need to display the actual character "&", you must enter "&&" in the short text and "&" in the long text.
