Smartforms-Junk Characters being printed with text

Former Member — Wed, 15 Nov 2006 05:39:00 GMT

Hi,

I have two issues regarding smartforms

1.Whenever I add any text in the smartform in the text editor ,for example, "test",

the print preview shows as above, BUT in the printout it comes as #test#.

2.Similarly, when I use READ_TEXT function module to get any text from the transaction, for example, AT&T, the output in the preview and printout comes as (AT<(>&<)>T.

Can any one tell me how to avoid this junk data .

Regards

Hi,

I think u have copied the texts from a notepad or Word document directly. This will result in junk characters being printed. So you delete whatever u have copied better u delete and type urself. It will work fine. I also faced a similar situation once.

HOpe this helps u.

As mentioned I'm reading a text field from a transaction using READ_TEXT.The text is being called from a function module and not copied from a notepad.

good

Did you follow this process if not check them again,

1- Execute the program and see how the data flowing from driver program to the smartform.

2-Check the printer setup for you particular page

3-Check the alignment of the data that you r going to print.

thanks

sometimes the junk is visible in the preview, else it appears only in print out.
