Removing blank line in smart forms

[madhu_reddy22]

Hi All,

I have developed a smart form(a letter) which has about 5 address fields in the following order.

&address_line1&

&addressline2&

&city& , &state& &zip&

&addressline2& is not mandatory. When this parameter is empty then i get the output like this

1234 wood creek street

Herndon, VA 20171

I do not want the gap . What am i supposed to do. I want something like If addressline2 is null then delete line .

Thanksin advance

for all the 3 lines create 3 text elements...

for address2 give condiotion as

if address2 NE ''.

print address2

endif.

Hi

If its a text node separatly for the Address line 2 then there would be condition tab at where you can check whether value is initial.

If its template then you create a alternative with conition address line2 is intial

if yes then write all variables excluding address line 2.

if no write all vairables including address line 2.

check the paragraph format in your smartstyle and see whether there is any options for not displaying blank lines... we have an option in sapscript.. No blank lines, currently I couldn't remember for SF.

or use conditions...to remove blank lines..

hi,

U might be using template to display this address, to remove the gap dynamically is not possible. U can use alternative in such a way that...

If &addressline2& NE ' '.

&address_line1&

&addressline2&

&city& , &state& &zip&

ELSE.

&address_line1&

&city& , &state& &zip&

Reward points if helpful.

HI Hari,

Do i write the code in the text element itself. I thought the code should be written only in the program lines. And if we write in the program lines the &'s should not be mentioned. Correct me if i am wrong

Madhu,

Build an address internal table with all the three lines of address. If the address2 line is blank then donot populate that in internal table. Add a loop node with that internal table and put a text element with in the loop.

You need not Use & in the program lines.

Thanks,

Vamshi.
