Space in sapscript

[Former Member]

hellow, i am writing a fixed text in sapscript, and now i have to write 35 characters less of this fixed text, but i have fixed the sapscript, so i would like to write a text of 35 blanks, i have seen that if i put &space(35)& it doesn´t works but if i put a point after space(35), it does, how can i write a 35 text space element please?

Thanks in advance

regards

Example:

True-> &space(35)& .

False->&space(35)&

Hey,

You can use the TAB, i mean in the Paragraph format, use the tab position. or lese you can give the 35 Blank spaces by pressing the SAPCE key on the keyboard.

Hi,

To solve this I create a variable in the "calling program" like

data:   B(1) value space.

In the sapscript you can use this variable with &B& as a single space.

The nice thing about it is that you can use the normal space on the keyboard and end with &B& (like you used the point) and the exact number of spaces are printed.

HI Carl,

&SPACE(35)& is also works might be bcos of empty space u didn't notice it.

u can write space like..

<b>&ITAB-MATNR& &SPACE(35)& &ITAB-MAKTX&</b>

or u can use paragraph formats with tab spacing

provide tabs as..

1. 35 PT LEFT

PR &ITAB-MATNR&,,&ITAB-MAKTX&

where PR is paragraph format

Hi Carlson,

The functionality of <b>&SPACE(35)&</b> is to have 35 spaces only but as you placing this end of the text, you are not feel of it has spaces.

When you have <b>&SPACE(35)&.</b> , a point after space(35) has generating 35 spaces then you are getting your point.

Otherwise, Define a tab for a paragraph format with 35 spaces position and use this in your script editor.

Hi Carl,

Define tabs in paragraph format & use it in script instead of &space(35)& .
