Summary :
This SAP Note explains how the fallback mechanism functions during the loading of ABAP program text pools and its effects on selection texts display. It specifies that if a text pool is missing in the logon language, as of Release 610, the system tries to load it from a secondary language specified by the zcsa/second_language profile parameter. If incomplete, selection texts will not display, possibly showing technical names instead. It also notes translation requirements for selection texts linked to the ABAP Dictionary, advising checks for text pool availability and completeness in required languages to ensure accurate display and translation consistency.

Key words :
profile parameter zcsa/second_language, system issues message ds 536, incomplete text pool exists, text pool exists, fallback mechanism works, select-options s_test, ddic reference indicator, system displays texts, fill text pools, displaying selection texts
