Problem in Printing text symbol

[Former Member]

Dear Experts,

In SAP Script , i am trying to print output in RDI (Raw Data Interface) simple spool format. In this case, one text symbol is printing only first character but actually the text symbol value has 16 characters. When i saw in script debugging mode, that text symbol contain value but in print preview the text symbol printing first character only.

Please advice....

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Can you check if SAP note 876571 can resolve this problem?

Hi Siva,

Try to increase width of window in which you are printing.

If ur text symbol is of non-character datatype, move it to character datatype and print it since character data type is always left justified.

Hi,

How's the field defined which holds the value of the symbol? Is it long enough to hold the entire field value? or is it defined maybe with a type C but no length (default 1 character) ?

Yes,

My text variable has enough lemgth to fit the complete value. I cahnged the Output type From RDI to normal SAP Script formatting . In this case the value was printed correctly. From this i got conclusion as this is problem in RDI output format only..

Please advice..

Thanks for ur reply

Hello,

For specific symbols in RDI output you might need to use UCPLAIN device type (unicode) instead of just PLAIN which is the normal for RDI.
