Hi,

You can align text in Scripts using paragraph formats, using tabs

Define your own Paragraph Formats (za) and define the TAB settings and the FONT settings and allign the fields LIKE

ZA &ITAB-VBELN&,,&ITAB-POSNR&,,&ITAB-MATNR&,,&ITAB-MENGE&

well there are several possibilities

you can create paragraph formats. In those paragraph formats you can define Tabs.

To every single Tab defined you can choose between 4 alignments.

In SAP-Script itself you can use (R) like in &VARIABLE(R)& to make the alignment right.

a paragraph format itself can have an alignment as well.

I did the alignment using tabs but it is not giving me the right output when i use it for printing the values in my script

I am printing like this

,,&itab-matnr&,,&itab-maktx&

Tab settings are

1st 2 cm left

2nd 4 cm left

3rd 7 cm left

Now it is not printing 6 cm , it is printing 4 cm from the start of the page. Why ? 2+4 should make it 6

Please help.

Hi,

,,&itab-matnr&,,&itab-maktx&

Tab settings are

1st 2 cm left means 1st tab starts at cm=2

2nd 4 cm left means 2nd tab starts at cm=4

3rd 7 cm left means 3rd tab starts at cm=7

Hi,

It is not going to print 6 cm from the start, it will print at 4 because the alignment that you give is from the left of the page not from the first tab.

<----->itab-matnr

2cm

<----

---

>itab-maktx

4 cm

<----

---

>XYZ

8 cm

Hope It is clear now.

tab positions are absolute and not relative that should make it all clear.
