smartform problem

Former Member — Mon, 14 May 2007 09:50:15 GMT

Hi all,

I am printing material description in one of the columns of my main area of table in my smartform.

Now i have set a tab so that my first line of the description starts a distance away from the vertical line dividing the differnt fields of the main area..The problem is that when the description extends to the next line it starts touching the vertical line in the next line.

What i want is that the second line should start exactly below my first line..

Any suggestions as what should i do?..

Thanks in advance.....

Hi Mohit,

Suppose if u want your first line after 10 spaces from the vertical line, the give the tab position as vertical line position+10spaces. Then the next line of this field will automatically start from that 10 th position. Please once check ,I am not sure.

I think you have given the tab position as just beside the vertical line and while writing u put 10 spaces. Just I am thinking like that.plz once check.

Thanks,

Suma.

Split the TEXT into two strings and use the same TAB setting for the second line also.

for example there is a space of 50 Char in the first line and the text is of 100 char

then write

ZP ,, &TEXT(50)&

ZP ,, &TEXT+50(50)&

use NO BLANK LINES for that Paragraph such that when there is no text comes into second line it should not leave space of one line.

Hi anji reddy, if you we consider 10 char perline, then i need to split the my string into 10 pieces if it contains 100 chars.

If it contains more than 100 then ?

So can u give us some other idea to solve the problem?
