• Key Concepts: 
  Progress Information Service Text (PIST) is a component of the SAP SRD-CC-UI Generic User Interface. It is used to display messages to the user during long-running processes, such as data loading or system updates. The messages are displayed in a pop-up window and can be customized to provide information about the progress of the process. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use PIST, you must first create a message template in the SAP system. This template contains the text that will be displayed in the pop-up window. Once the template is created, you can call it from your program code using the PIST function module. This will display the message in a pop-up window with a progress bar that shows how far along the process is. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating your message template, make sure to include enough information for the user to understand what is happening. You should also include an estimated time for completion so that users know how long they can expect to wait for the process to finish.
