read_text - text display

Former Member — Wed, 13 Jun 2007 12:41:52 GMT

I have used read_text to read text from sales order, now while displaying it i have just 20 char sapce for it, so after 20 char it should go to next line.

I have entire text in table t_tline.

How to display just 20 char eaxch line, any suggestions?

Thanks,

Shweta

Declare some varaiables with type CHAR 20 fields and split the text to them by offsetting

data: var1(20), var2(20), var3(20).

var1 = t_tline+9(20)

var2 = t_tline+21(20)

...

and display the variables one below other

Or straight away you can display the t_tline(20) in first line

next t_tline+21(20) in second line like that

Anji,

Say i have 10 lines in t_tline, for each line i will have to pass like this and then display? I won't be knowing the length of each line.

var1 = t_tline+9(20)

var2 = t_tline+21(20) this logic worked. Thanks!!!
