Smartforms - Text in a cell

[former_member1038687]

Hi friends! I need some help!

I have an LOOP and inside this a Program Lines. After I have a TEXT. All this things is in a table.

HEADER_TEXT TYPE STRING.

LOOP AT T_LINES INTO W_LINES.
          CONCATENATE W_LINES INTO HEADER_TEXT.

After Loop.
TEXT_ELEMENT with &header_text&.

The problem is when I print the form, TEXT_ELEMENT prints only part of HEADER_TEXT, some like this:

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX -> rest of text is missing...

Anyone can help me?

Thanks a lot!!

There's a maximum lenght of text for smartforms, so you should cut the text in smaller 255 character pieces, and then show them all.

Thanks for replies. The problem was limit of 255 lenght. I has to do this concatenate because the text comes in some lines of table T_LINES, but I have to print a continous text in Form.

Thanks all!

Regards!

Looks like you concatenate has an issue :

CONCATENATE W_LINES INTO HEADER_TEXT.

CONCATENATE field1 field2 INTO HEADER_TEXT. "<<syntax...

Ops, sorry, I made a mistake in first post, but in program the concatenate is correct!

Thanks Gustavo, I'll try to break the variable with only 255 lenght.

Also make sure...the window was got enough room to accommodate all the data...
