Thanks for all the replies,

I have resolved the problem by using CONDENSE statement,the numeric fields at the column level were not alligned,to come up with a solution I used this statement.

first of all use tabs for smart form and if u r already using tabs in smart form than please do right alingment of numeric fields like price , value, quantity sothat they start printing from rigth side of coloumn and print properly.

if u want to know how to use tabs than this is a brief explanation:

just do one thing that if u r using tabs in paragraph format jsut chek that same para number u used for on ur editor while printing or not if it is ok than , in using tabs do right alingment for all value , quantity and no. fields in tabs

and for tabs i give u an idea that tabs are used as a property of paragraphs for proper alingment of values or data in coloumns .

take tabs as the position from where u want to start as for example if ur first field is item no. than u have to alingned it as right alingment so it will start printing the value from right in coloumn so u decide that how many charcter is actullly it is taking so as for example it is of 10 character than give frst tab as on 10th in postion and type as CH while defining first coloumn , than suppose next field is description so u have to define it as left alingment so if first tabis at 10 and due to left alingment the positon of cursor is just after 10 becouse it is left alingned and previous one is right so start it from 12 as giving space of 1 or 2 character and do the same thing with using comman sence for other , but remember in this method of scripts u have to do one or more times trial and error so just do it once and practice it . this is very important.

use smart styles for alignment

in smart styles u need to difine character formats and paragaraph formats as per requirement.

and attach ur style to that smartform in form attributes-->output options(tab) --->style field

Thanks for your prompt reply,I have done that.I am not having issues with style,but for the numeric fields in my column,the alignment needs to be checked,if you have a solution for the same.
