In SAPscript/sartor, is it possible to enter texts vertically? if yes, then please let me know how it is done along with some sample code.

Hi,

It is possible, but you have to use a trick. I hope it is just one line and not several lines.

First you have to find a font which prints the characters vertically. Install this font on your SAP system. Now you can print one letter at a time and each letter on a next line. This looks like the text is vertically printed. If you use a separate paragraph you can use line spacing to set the distance between your characters.

I remember it took me quite some time to get the font to work and it I had to install the font in windows as well. In other words I could only print the vertical characters through my SAP local printer. I recall the name of the true type font was Aachen Vertical.

Good luck,

Marcel
