hello,

i have a field and the lenght is 35, however the length of the data of that field is only 20. in that sense the reports looks like this:

PDDRF No Reason 1 Reason 2 Date

xxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxx

xxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxx

xxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxx (this is the case that reason 1 has no data)

what would i do to make look like this

PDDRF No Reason 1 Reason 2 Date

xxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxx

xxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxx

xxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxx

thanks.

donna

Hi,

Please create a Paragraph format with <u>tabs</u> with respect to your field lengths. Tabs will leave the exact space(as defined) eventhough data of the field is less than the field length.

Hi,

You can make a field occupy the exact space you want by defining it this way

&Field(n)& where n is the length of your field.

Regards.

Lavanya.

Hi,

For output,you will use textelements.

For that text element,you have to specify the paragraph format.

If you use tabs in paragraphs appropraitely according to your need,then you will get the desired output.

Kindly reward points if it helps.
