Issue in displaying internal table contents in user decision step of workflow

abfg

Dear experts,

I have a requirement to show the contents of an internal table in the user-decision step of the work item. This internal table contains CDHDR, CDPOS entries showing the changes made by user in a contract.

In order to show the internal table values I have created a ABAP class-method from which the internal table is passed and used as a multiline container. This is further passed by binding it to the task of the workflow.

In the ABAP class method I have used html tags in order to display the table in the workitem.

But I am facing an issue when the number of entries are more than 8. From 9th row some of the cell values are misaligned and are displayed outside (above or right side) the table.

My code looks like below :

lit_output is the table which I am passing to the workflow item as a multiline container

In case of rows more than 8 , some of the cell(values) are misaligned and displayed at the top of the table as shown in the screenshot :

The line type of the output table is w3html(255 char for each cell) .

1.Is there any restriction on the number of rows displayed in a user decision step of work item ?

2. what is the best approach to display a table ? I tried string/xstring but finally found that html is the easiest way but there is an issue as described above.

Please let me know if something is not clear in my question.

Your suggestions are highly appreciated !

Thank you !
