SAP Scripts Output Alignment

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

I have four fields to be displayed in a line in the main window in the script. 3 of them are text fields.

the output is appearing as below

AAAAAAA-----22/04/2008-INVOICE TEXT1----

---

435.53

AAAA---22/04/2008

---

INVOICE TEXT DISPLAY--

---

21.00

I want it to be like below

AAAAAAA---22/04/2008---INVOICE TEXT1--

---

435.53

AAAA--

---

22/04/2008---INVOICE TEXT DISPLAY-----21.00

Note: the dotted lines separating the text is just drawn to show the space.

the problem is only with the firstand the second field and not with thrid and fourth field

I have used a paragraph format which has tab positions as

0.40 CM LEFT

3.00 CM LEFT

7.30 CM LEFT

13.80 CM LEFT

The code used in the script is as below

&xblnr&,,&v_date&,,,,&bktxt&,,&t_regup-wrbtr&

and I am specifying the llength in the Call Function as welll, as you can see below,

CALL FUNCTION 'TEXT_SYMBOL_SETVALUE'

EXPORTING

name = '&xblnr&'

value = bkpf-xblnr

value_length = 16.

I have tried a lot, now i thought of seeking your inputs.

appreciate your help.

Thanks

Help will be rewarded

hi,

first of all you first tab is too small, 0.40 CM. thats why the second field is not fixed, the sapscript will try to print the date 0.40 CM from left, but it is adjusting since your first field is more than 0.40 CM. say adjust your first tab to 2 CM. 2 CM is referring to the position of your date. Remember that the tabs are measured absolutely from left margin.

Hi Tyken26,

Thank you for taking the time to reply,

your reply is very logical and in that case I dont need the 4th tab which i Have declared,

However I tried with the different tab positions and it doesn't help me at all.

for e.g.

3.00 CM LEFT

7.30 CM LEFT

13.50 Cm LEFT

The same problem with the first two fields.

Any clue ?

Hi Sam,

I suggest you try a longer length, just to see if it works. maybe try 5 cm. or limit your first field say &field1(10)&.

hope this helps.

reward points if helpful.

hanks for your help.

I am copying the code from the Script layout and the Tab positions I used to get the required layout.

&xblnr&,,&v_date&,,&bktxt&,,&t_regup-wrbtr&

and

3.00 CM LEFT

7.30 CM LEFT

13.50 CM LEFT
