Underline variable in smartform.

Former Member — Wed, 04 Mar 2015 08:19:49 GMT

Hi SDN's,

I need to print variable and underline it, using smartforms. I create underline srift, but got a problem.

Now, my text looks like this:

fgdjhghjdfklghsknfgbf

dfjgkfjkgjdfkjgkdfgysf

dgjfkgjkfjdgk

But i need:

fgdjhghjdfklghsknfgbf

dfjgkfjkgjdfkjgkdfgysf

dgjfkgjkfjdgk

The problem is i dont know how many '_' symbols i need to paste in variable.

Thanks in Advance,

Egor

create a new character font using smartstyle transaction and assign that font to your variable... this will resolve your issue

Hi..

Since you are using variable. Use condense statement, to remove the spaces.

Hope it will work.

Hi,

Unless monospaced font is used, the text does not need to flow over several lines (if each line can be a separate paragraph) and the output length of the line is fixed, I don't believe one can achieve that look using normal SAP text formatting capabilities.

If you are using monospaced font and output length is fixed... use your underlined font on a variable with fixed length definition, say: &textline(32)&. No need to pad the variable with '_', in other words.

You can also use a table node to output separate lines of fixed width and create underlines using cell border instead of underlined font.

If the output length is variable... the only way I can think of is creating many text elements for all the possible output lengths - very unsatisfactory "solution".

cheers
