SAPscript editor is ignoring my changes

Former Member — Wed, 17 Jun 2009 12:28:53 GMT

I am in the process of editing a SAPscript form and I have made about 20 changes so far. I have only a couple left. I have been saving my changes and transporting them and everything has been working fine. However, I have two changes that are being completely ignored by the editor. On one line I am trying to have three underlined sections separated by tabs so I have the following code:

&ULINE(14)&,, &ULINE(14)&,,&ULINE(14)&

As you may notice, there is an extra space after the first tab (,,). I have tried to remove this space and the editor just keeps putting it back. I have tried removing the line and re-writing it and other things trying to trick the editor into removing it, but nothing works, it just keeps putting it back.

Also, I have some character formatting on one line and I simply want all the words to have the same character format so I use the following code (where <K> is the tag for the format I want):

Whenever I leave the editor and come back into it, it changes this line to the following:

<K>WORD1,,WORD2,,WORD3,,</K>WORD4,,WORD5

*I know the ending tag is not </K> it is the same just without the K, but this forum won't let me post that.

It moves the ending tag behind the third word and I can not get the last two words to have the same format as the rest. I have tried adding and extra <K> after the the thrid word, just for use with the last two words, but when I leave the editor and come back in, it just removes my formatting for the last two words like I had never put it in.

It's like the editor has a mind of its own. This is VERY frustrating. Has anyone ever experienced anything like this? Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks.

Hi,

Please check original language of form( see in form header).If your orginial language of form is differrent from form language then you need to do changes in both language.

Thanks

HI John

Have you try to chek the characteristics of the TABs (,,)? Perhaps something tabs have a wrong distance from left margin.

How do I check to see if it is a variable window or not?

Why did it accept all of my other changes to the same window, but not these?

Thanks

I have found out that its type is 'MAIN', but it needs to be a MAIN window because it needs to be continuous. Also, I tried changing it and it wouldn't let me. The check box is grayed out.

I didn't think it would matter becuase I have made other changes to this form without any problems and in fact have changed this same window without any problems, but the form is an SAP original named F140_DOCU_EXEC.
