Fixing the position using Tabs and right justify

[Former Member]

Hi all

I have a sapscript in which is am invoice and i am displaying the material number ,quantity ,UOM and description.

I have set the paragarph formats for the display and set the tabs there which are right justified for the first 2 and the third is left and the rest are again right .

I have a problem in which if the length of my material number varies then the quantity does not justify .

eg if the material number increases by 2 characters the qantity does not get justifed left or right.

Is there a way i can fix the quantity to align irrespective of the the material number.

Also what does &V_TOTQTY(T.0)& indicate .Does it mean text .?

where can i find a list of the all the characters i can use inserting in the brackets .

Thanks in advance

Hi,

use &symbol(C)& the C is to compress space. your propably having trouble with printed spaces.

TIP: the best way to layout numbers is to lignout with the decimal sign

Hi,

Adjust tab spacings again and see.

Else use all left justified and see if it works.

&V_TOTQTY(T.0)& -

> To omit thousands separator and display with 0 decimals..

Try givng the quantity field as quantity(13.2) and also give other fields the maximum field lengths

to find out the formatting options in sapscript :

&symbol(Z)& Omit Leading Zeros

&symbol(S)& Omit Leading Sign

&symbol(<)& Display Leading Sign to the Left

&symbol(>)& Display Leading Sign to the Right

&symbol(C)& Compress Spaces

&symbol(.N)& Display upto N decimal places

&symbol(T)& Omit thousands separator

&symbol(R)& Right justified

&symbol(I)& Suppress output of the initial value

Hi,

Please check the window size, it is not the problem with material description. Call the paragraph format in form. Check it once again by changing window size.

Let me know if issue was not solved.

Yes. Window Size could be the problem

I have experienced similar kind of problem earlier.

It has got nothing to do with the Tab Settings except if you have not given ,, before the variable for every tab.

Adjust the size of the window and check the output. If you are gettign what you are expecting then the solution is as expected.

HI

So you are suggesting that my window size is not big enough .

I tried changing the window size but no difference .

Also could you explain about tabs .And right left alignment in tabs

Thanks
