tab positions in sapscripts

Former Member — Wed, 08 Apr 2009 09:58:52 GMT

I am trying to change a paragraph format such that the tabs contain positions and so the text is displayed starting at a specific position in the document. But adding the tab positions is not moving the actual text. What could I be doing wrong?

Hi,

in the sapscript have you used the command ',,'? In paragraph format have you defined correctly your tab?

Leo

hi, Activate and check again. You need to specify the tab positions in paragraph format and use it in the spascript. Give the paragraph format and use ',, ' with text to specify the tab positions.

Just check whether if u are testing in same client. Becoz sapscript is client dependent. If u are tesying in different client den u have to pull that request.

for that go to

SCC1

enter workbench request number.

check the checkbox Include request subtasks.

and click on start immediately.

hope it works.

otherwse do on some trial and error basis give more width for tabs.

also write variable like &var1(C)&

CP is the paragraph format

CP        Contact Person                  LEFT           0,10  CM    0,00  CM
15.00  CM          LEFT

This is how I am using it

CP	 	&acc-sydt&,,&acc-contact&,,&PAGE& / &sapscript-formpages(2)&

This is the window it is been used in

DATE       Date, Your contact and page    9,70 CM   2,00 CM  10,00 CM   1,00 CM

Now I would expect the contact text to start from 15.00 cm. But it does not, it starts right after the date

Megan

You need to write it as shown below

CP ,,&acc-sydt&,,&acc-contact&,,&PAGE& / &sapscript-formpages(2)&

You need to give the tab for the first field as well

Try checking it

try to reduce the tab no 15 cm. the window where you would write is large enough?

Re: tab positions in sapscripts

Former Member — Wed, 08 Apr 2009 10:19:03 GMT

Thanks to you all. It was a careless mistake on my part. I gave the tab much bigger than the window itself
