Space between two variables deleted when activated

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am working on smartforms and i need to display multiple fields in one text box. If I write it like this: &var1& &var2&

when I activate it, it becomes: &var1&&var2&

The space between the variables is being deleted.

I already tried to change the editor to place the space and also did the suggestion to use &VAR1& &SPACE& &VAR2&, but it is still not working.

There was also a suggestion to use tabs, but if i will be doing address there will be spaces in between if for example one field is blank or if the length per variable varies.

There was also a suggestion to concatenate the fields to a new variable using program lines and display this variable. But if I am working on the page (ex. Page 1 of 2), it does not recognize the following code:

concatenate 'Page' SFSY-PAGE 'of' SFSY-FORMPAGES into v_string separated by space.

It says that the field "SFSY" is unknown. But i alredy added the fields in the input and output parameter.

Can anyone please give me suggestions on how to go about this or which approach will be better.

Thanks a lot.

Try like this it will solve your problem.

Page &SFSY-PAGE& of &SFSY-FORMPAGES(3ZC)&

Try to drag and drop

SAPScript

Page&PAGE& of &FORMPAGES(ZC)&

I was using the option MS Word as editor in Smartforms. We should change this to use the original editor. Go to transaction I18N then go to I18N Customizing, then click on MS Word as editor. Untick the checkbox for Smartform then activate. Do the coding again or just activate the smartform, and no more space error will be encountered.

pUT &VAR1&,,&VAR2& IN THE EDITOR. iT WILL SOLVE YOUR PROBLEM. OR MAKE A TEMPLATE WITH TWO COLUMNS, THE ADVANTAGE YOU WILL HAVE IS THAT YOU CAN FORMAT THEM INDIVIDUALLY.

Hi,

I think you should check OSS notes since I also face the same problem and it is fixed after I escalate the issue to higher level. I think it relate to basis or something like that. It is not your code that wrong, it is the SAP's bug so no need to put a lot of effort on checking the error.

Hi,

I also had faced the same problem.

The better way is to create a template and display them

keeping them right and left or centered aligned
