Yang,

Create a paragraph format in a smartstyle as a left-aligned and use this paragraph in the text editor of the script for all the variable which you want to be left aligned.

SMARTSTYLE is a tcode.

if it is a character filed use

condense data.

or use:

shift data left deleting leading space.

if variable is not character type, move the variable to char type variable and then use the above statements...

Hi,

Use the statement &symbol (C)& in your script editor.

The C option replaces each string of space characters with a single space and shifting "words" to the left to close gaps. Leading spaces are completely removed.

Hope the above information will helps you.
