The list of text symbols cannot be displayed.

How to fix this error?

Unlike standard symbols, such as <(>&DATE&<)>, whose values are
automatically defined by SAPscript, text symbols must be defined by the
user. This is carried out with the <H>DEFINE</> command in the
SAPscript editor. The name of the text symbol can be freely defined.
Example: A text symbol is to be defined with the name <H>TEXTSYMBOL</>.
The following command line is used:
<H>/: DEFINE TEXTSYMBOL = 'Text symbol'</>
If the text symbol is now used in the text, SAPscript inserts the text
which has been defined for it when the text is output. The sentence
<H>This is a <(>&TEXTSYMBOL&<)>.</>
is output as
<H>This is a text symbol.</>
If text symbols are used in the text before their values have been
defined, they are not replaced in the text.
