Hi,
Generally, the icons on a list are displayed using the ABAPTM statement WRITE <symbol-name> AS ICON. But these icons do not have any description on their own. It might be difficult for the end user to understand the significance of that particular icon. So for that, we can make use of the function module ICON_CREATE. This function module can be used to display the icons similar to the above ABAPTM statement. But in this case, we will get the description of the icon(s), when we move the cursor over that icon.
