Blank lines needed in address

[former_member188251]

Hi All,

I am new to Adobe Forms.Our client wnats blank lines in the address in case some part of the address is not found. For eg., if the 3rd line having the street name is not maintained in the system, it should print a blank line and then the remaining address lines . Can I achive the same using the address node or should I manullay fetch the address and insert the variables?

Thanks for your help.

HI Naveen,

Insert a table with with 3 rows and 2 columns, then merge the cells of 1 and 2 columns of the 1st and 3rd rows.

Hi Shankarnarayan,

Two way to solve this.

First will be format your address in initialization event, and concatenate your address with special character carriage return after each line .

Second will be set your subform to be Flowed top to bottom, and in each of the line, check if ADRC-NAME3 == "" , hide the text object. By doing this, the next text object will goes up if the current line is blank.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Xiang !

I need the blank lines in case part of the address is not found, I dont want the lines below to move up. I think the solutions you have provided are for the lines to move up.

How do I retain blank lines ?

Thanks for your help.

Hi Shankar,

For address it is better to use 'Address' nodes and display.  As SAP take cares of the format to be displayed(as formats vary for different countries).  If any customization on address fields is required, fetching address and printing manually would be the option.

Thanks Rakesh.

In my case, the customer has given the address format like

ADRC-NAME3  on first line

ADRC-STREET and ADRC-CITY1 on second line

ADRC-CODE1 on third line and so on....

And if any of the ADRC data is not maintained in the system, he wants blank lines to be shown in its place. For eg, if ADRC-STREET is missing, then it should be

ADRC-NAME3  on first line

<Blank line> on second line

ADRC-CODE1 on third line and so on....

What do you suggest in this case ?

In that case, instead of using address nodes.  Retrieve the address and place the fields as per the given format on the form. 

Thanks,

Rakesh
