table inside a table

[Former Member]

Dear all,

I am working on PO form, which a ZFORM. I have to print the long description of the Material PO text and PO Item text. For this i have taken 2 tables, table1 will contains the item level data and table 2 will contain the long descriptions. Table 2 i put in a subform. As of now this is working fine. But the problem is when the table2 is empty, still the space is printing on the form. To overcome this issue i wrote JAVA script on the table1 to hide the subform of table2. its not working fine. The code is as follows. Please do let me know whether the code is correct or not.

var norows = xfa.resolveNodes("data.ZLINE_ITEM.DATA[*]").length;

var no;

for ( var i=1; i<=norows; i++)

{

no = xfa.resolveNodes("data.ZLINE_ITEM.DATA<i>.SS.GT_ILTEXT.DATA[*]").length;

if(no == 0)

{

xfa.resolveNodes("data.ZLINE_ITEM.DATA<i>.SS").presence = "hidden";

}

}

I wrote this code in 'Calculate' event.

Language - JAVA script

Run at - Client

First: why do you have two tables and not one? Why don´t you merge it in ABAP? It will improve your performance and will make your form solution "maintainable".

Is the number of the long texts the same as the number of the items? Or you pass the long texts for all possible items and pair them to the runtime items of the PO? All this is weird.

The problem is not in your coding. The problem is in your design.

Please describe your data instead of the coding and we can work on it. Otto

hi,

i am extracting the long description of the PO line item by using READ_TEXT function module. The output of this FM will be 'N' number of lines. Hence i have used table inside a table.
