SAPSCRIPT TABS not responding

[Former Member]

hi guys , i have created a tab with 13 columns. column 1-7 is aligning correctly according to my specifications, column 8-13

is misaligning and not responding to my specifications. i have tried editing my values in millimeters, still no luck. i have tried increasing the width of my window, stil nochange. i really need to solve this with yo help.

my window is 193 mm width

each tab has a diff of 12mm to the next.

thanks in advance

Hi,

Are any of the texts placed at each of the tabs longer than 12mm?

Hi,

You need to consider the length of the definition of the fields between that tabs, not just the populated length.

HI my char length is 7 , so i suppose it might have an effect, but then how would you explain the first 7 aligning properly?

i have also tried declaring vars in the form and passing data into them instead of the table ref fields, stil no joy, i have tried condensing leading spaces &symbol (C)& stil nothing.

Hi,

Yes, SAPscript tabs can be a real pain to get working. The other things I would offer are to check the tab alignment and take a field out of the line in turn to see what the influence is.

Also, you're not very specific as to what exactly is happening, are fields disappearing, getting truncated, not aligning?

hi nick, the fields are not aligning, i'm making a cheque which has preprinted layout so my numbers which are in words have to go into a specific layout of the check paper. The sample lay out is like below. the amounts are the ones which are mis aligning

after the 7th tab.

BILLION MILLIONS THOUSANDS

e.g ZERO | ZERO |ZERO |ZERO |ZERO |ZERO |ZERO | ZE|RO SEV|EN |ONE |EIG|HT
