Hi ,

I didnt understated ABAP Report and again you are saying Smartforms. what exactly you are developing ? Is it a driver program.

For whatever I have understood

Solutions /Suggesions

1> See if Interactive report can work for you , but in that case you will have get texts on the next screen, well that too can be avoided if you reset the sy-lsind. See if this a okey with you , I will take you further on this if you find it okey.

2> You can search and try out something in object oriented report.

Regard,

Uma Dave

Sir, Actually I am developing a report using Smartforms. In this report I need to display a text field which contain almost 150 charachters. I am getting the output in a single line on the report, although the user has pressed ENTER Key at some places in the text area while making the entry. But my requirement is to display the field in such a way that wherever the enter is pressed, the text should be shown in next line from where the ENTER was pressed for example:

25569-

abc - xyz - 123456

New York,

USA.

But I get the result on report as follows.

25569- abc - xyz - 123456 New York, USA.

Hope you understand.

Okey

I have a following solution for this requirement .

1> Have a interactive report (I hope you know about how to go about it , if not then refer this link

http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/Snippets/ABAP-3LevelsInteractive+Report)

2> then for the text 123456789abcdefghijklmn

on the first enter you show

12345 by coding under if sy-lsind = 1

on second enter , you will be moved to next screen there u will show

12345

6789a

by coding under if sy-lsind = 2

on third eneter , you will be moved to next screen there u will show

12345

6789a

bcdef

by coding under if sy-lsind = 3

and so on.

does this sound good for you?

I hope this will solve your query.
