Smartforms - 2 columns of my table don t appear in the print preview

[Former Member]

HI, I m new in this forum and don t have too much experience in Smartforms. I have a problem with a Smartform in my job, The control program give a internal table to the smartform with all the data that it needs. Now i did a debug to the smartform and i checked that the internal table is passing all the correct data.

I did a code to passing the missing field data to a variable created in the smartform, and try to print the variable, but nothing appear. I checked that the data was passing to the variable with a debug too, all was correct. Now one of the missing columns have date as data, that column only print the 2 periods of separation of the day.month.year.

After that a tried to print text directly in text node of the table, and it worked, it was printed.

So im not sure what is the problem here, like i said im working with a table in the smartform, not a template. Its like both columns wasnt abilitated somehow, like i said i don t have too much exprience in smartforms, i hope you can give me some hints about how i can solve this.

Thanks.

ok, thx guys i found the problem you were right, the smartforms was working but i was checking the worng line, and cuz im working in a laptop i couldn t check the nro of the document or any other detail. So my first solution for this probklem was right, but i had to check that in other PC with a bigger screen to notice that.

thx for your help.

In fact nothing is wrong.

You can define components of the structure/table using data element or directly specifying data type/length.

ok, i tried that in the code node for both columns of the table in the smartform but nothing change, it still can t print those columns in the preview of the smartform. I create new global variables, type char10 and copy the data of the field in the WA thats correspond to those columns to the global variables, i put a break point in that code and i checked that the data pass correctly, but didn t appear in the smartform preview.

So anybody have any other idea of what can be wrong here, or at least some things that i could check to discard posibilities?

Hi,

Ok - I've tested the following example:

Test type string - defined in global definition, than

test = ekko-aedat (so I moved date from field of type dats), than in text node:

&test&

and it displayed correct date. Can you try this way ? However it is pure date format YYYYMMDD, without any . / , etc

Ok, so I've tested also write formula, to take user display settings into account:

test TYPE char10, than

WRITE ekko-aedat TO test, than

&test&

and we've got the correct date..

ok, thx for your answer but i checked and the type is D(8) instead of dats, both field don t have any Data Element defined only the type. in that structure there are 3 fields that doesn t have Data elemente defined, but the other field is working, its a integer and it use a code to pass the data like i put it before. i changed that and i put &WA_REPORT-KURSF& directly in the text node and it worked too.

Any idea of was wrong with this table?

Hi,

Can you write what do use to dispaly those additional variables in text node for specified columns ?

It's hard to judge without any technical details, however for me the most weird thing is that dots related to date column are printed..

ok, im using T_STRING have a string type it s declare in the global variables of the smartform. The columns missing are C(10) and dats type.

WRITE WA_REPORT-ZNROANT TO T_STRING.

CONDENSE T_STRING.

About the periods i changed the text font of that text node and put it bold to see what happend and the 2 periods got bold too.

If i change the align of the text in that text node, the perods change their position, pretty weird!

Thanks for your help !!
