Problem with blank spaces, fields and smartfroms!

[Former Member]

Hello ABAP developers!

My problem is the following:

I have got a text element in a smartform. In the text element there are normal text and fields, ic est:

&G_T_CIRCULARES-ID14&,<b> a &G_T_CIRCULARES-ID15&</b>

<b>N/Ref: &G_T_CIRCULARES-ID12&</b>

Con el fin de realizar la factura correspondiente ...........

As you can see there are blank spaces between the fields and the normal text, but when I activate the smartform, the following happen:

&G_T_CIRCULARES-ID14&, <b>a&G_T_CIRCULARES-ID15&</b>

<b>N/Ref:&G_T_CIRCULARES-ID12&</b>

Con el fin de realizar la factura correspondiente .....

And the blank spaces (in bold) disappear. I don't know way .... I think it could be the typical stupid newbie error.

Any solutions? Thanks a lot!!

Hi

Try to see, by old editor, if you've inserted those variable in the right way.

Hi guys,

<b>Kiran</b>

Thank you for your ideas. You don't solve my problem but you gave me ideas to solve it.

I saw it in the old editor, and I think that variables were inserted in the right way. But, what do you exactly mean with "the right way"?

<b>Sai</b>

Blank spaces don't show after activation neither in the output.

What I finally have done is, following the example of the first post:

CONCATENATE ' ' G_T_CIRCULARES-ID15

INTO G_T_CIRCULARES-ID15

RESPECTING BLANKS.

This sentence inserts a blank space before the value of G_T_CIRCULARES-ID15. When I activate the smartform it happens exactly the same as before, but when I see the output there is a blank space.

Thanks for yours answers, I will give points later.

Hi

Sometimes it seems to insert a variable correctly by a new editor, but then it's not managed as variable so I use to see it by old editor and here I see it's not inserted as &VAR& but in different way.

So If I understand after activing the smartform, the system deletes the blank spaces between the words doesn't it?

It's strange, but it's happen in that element only?

Ok, variables are inserted correctly in new an old editor.

I'll try to explain what the system does by examples:

1. We have the following text in an element text (see that there is no variables):

De carecer de datos del vehículo:

When I activate the smartform there is no problem and the blank spaces are not deleted.

2. We have the following text in an element text (see that there is variables):

&G_T_CIRCULARES-ID14&, a &G_T_CIRCULARES-ID15&

When I activate the smartform what happens is:

&G_T_CIRCULARES-ID14&, a&G_T_CIRCULARES-ID15& --> blank space between 'a' and '&G_T_CIRCULARES-ID15& ' has been deleted.

That situation happens in all the text of every smartform I am doing and I am a little bit exasperated.

I found a possible solution for it in my last answer.

Thanks for all!

Hi

It's a wrong behavior, it's not happen in my system, I think you need to see the OSS notes or post a note in OSS.

I've never seen a behavior like your, so It's not easy to help you here.

I guess even it don't show spaces after activation, the output will be displayed with spaces.

hI,

Use Coomand in Layout like &AMOUNT(Z)& then it will display

if not use condense in print progrm before this move the value into char field
