Problem in SAP Script

Former Member — Mon, 23 Apr 2007 16:27:31 GMT

Hi all,

In printing description of a material, i defined the size as of 40 characters.

If it crosses 40 characters i need to print that in next line.

For Example:

1)HANDLE SOLID SHANK SHUNG SOLID LIQUID GAS LINK->now 40th character is A of GAS, but i need to print 'GAS LINK' in next line.

How i can overcome this,Please help me.

Points will be rewarded.

Regards,

Karthick.

Hi,

In the script editor, for continuation of same line, you have to use the option "=" in the leftmost command field.

thanks,

You can't predict for every material that 41 position letter.

sometimes it will be Ok for certain materials

so better try to print the description in the next line where there is enough space.

as such there is no rule to avoid such texts.

reward if useful

Hello,

The only thing you can do is to is indexing the lines:

ie:

/: &VAR(40)&

/: IF &VAR(40)+10& EQ ' '

/: &VAR(40)+10& " For example

/:ENDIF

This Will print in case it still has data to output.

Hope this helps

Karthick - try function split_line. You can specify the maximum line length and the function will return a table of lines split correctly. Loop at the table and assign your form variables as needed.

Hi,

The complete printer command normally resides in the print control.

If characters belonging to the print command follow after the print control in the text (only useful for the HPL2 printer driver for PCL-5 printers), the text line following after the PRINT-CONTROL command should begin with an equals sign (=) in the format column.

Example:

/: PRINT-CONTROL SESCP = *c5G

If you do not use the equals sign, a space character is inserted between the print control SESCP and the character *c5G.

Refer to OSS note 5996 - How can SAPscript include printer commands?
