Nested Table: How to display formatted text in the form ?

[Former Member]

Hi,

Scenario:

I have a nested table, say TAB1, containing another table TAB2 which holds the formatted text.

Sample data

Entries in TAB1:

Column1 Column2(TAB2)

Text1 Data_from_tab2

Text2 Data_from_tab2

Text3 Data_from_tab2

Requirement:

The requirement is to display the data in TAB1 as it is maintained.

Trials:

I am aware of the fact that we can transfer the content of the nested table (in this scenario, TAB2) in another table(of type TLINE) defined as a global variable in the interface of the form. Then in the context area, we can define a 'TEXT' node and bind it to the table and choose the 'Dynamic text' for the 'text type' attribute and maintain the other atrributes.

But this approach cannot solve the issue as it is a nested table.

Kindly suggest how can I resolve this issue.

Hi,

if its like colum1, column2 (tab2).

you can represent column2 as a nested table in the form. and put these tables structure intoa subform of type flowed.

then you can have the required format.

the same can also be acheived using nested subforms instead of tables.

example of such scenario is PO & line items.

po number1 , items 1

item 2

item 3

po number2 , items 1

item 2

item 3

hope this helps you.

Cheers,
