Hi Vinay,

Have you checked the spacings.It seems like while inserting the fields you have pressed enter or left a space so this is happening.

Somewhere you left spaces and somewhere you did not so yo are getting this output.As you can see above I have left a space so it will display output at a lower position so check this then let me know.

Regards

Hi,

Please consider searching before posting about relatively simple issues - there was a post dealing with this just last week .

The most likely reason is: not enough space has been allocated in table column definitions to output the maximal values of fields, which leads Smartform composer to wrap the values to next line during output. There are two ways of dealing with this:

1) increase column width;

2) decrease output width of the variables (via setting output width explicitly, disabling output of leading zeros, disabling output of thousand separators and unnecessary sign for decimal fields, etc.) using Output Options for Field Contents.

cheers

Hi Vinay,

Can you please try using the option 'C' to remove the leading and trailing white space? The field will be shifted to the left, you might need to control the alignment thru form style especially for numeric fields.

Eg . &field(C)&

Thanks,

Norman

Hi Vinay,

Length of Field is not enough to print. Please try to extend the space in smartfoms which columns are getting downwards. if you getting difficult to increase space, Please use condense command of those fields before printing.
