how to give constant space in sap scripts.

[Former Member]

Dear experts,

In my requirement I am printing invoice line item details. In my program,I am printing 8 columns. How to give the constant space in my output.

My issue.: here am fetching Internal Excise Document Number (DOCNO) item number (zeile) plant (werks) quantity (menge) storage location (lgort) and so on.

when i am fetching the values from the table, the values are different from each and every rows. so nothing would be aligned properly into the column. For example, if the doc no is having 10 char,from item no all the values of the column is getting moved to right side. in my second row doc no is having only 2 chars. in this case every column value is moving left side. its looking like realigned and not good.

How do i give constant space for each and every column. so if the values are more or less it could not be moved to any side.

please hellp me to solve this issue.

Hi,

check out ur tab positioning in paragraph format...any misalignment is their or not.

second thing you can do is checkout your printer i.e zebra printer or .matrix etc. your using sometimes misalignment happens

in printer..or print some sample values for verifying the root cause .

Hi Sandy,

I have faced this situation long back.

The trick lies in the tab spacing. and then choosing various option like currency/centre or right etc.
