SmartForms - output field of type Quan

[Former Member]

I have a few db fields of type quan that I am trying to put into my form. When I view the output (preview or print) all fields of type quan are right-aligned. I have the paragraph format (via smartstyles) as left-aligned but these fields (and only these fields) are right aligned. Is there any way to get the quan types left-aligned?

Pass these fields to Char Variable before displaying.

Then apply your font format.

Hi,

You need to move these fields to a Charecter type fields then print those charecter fields then it will be left aligned

Thanks to both of you. I'm going to try that now.

before displaying the quantity field in the Test Node add a Program lines code and write something like this -

move itab-quan to v_quan.

import parameters - v_quan & itab-quan

export - v_quan.

in global data: difine v_quant as char10.

Amit, thanks for the reply.

I tried that and I am still getting the same error "Field GS_VBLKP-LFIMG is unknown".

For some reason every time I try to use GS_VBLKP_LFIMG in a Program Lines node I get an error on that field.

I tried your solution, in a Program Lines node, and I got a syntax error. The error says "Field &GS_VBLKP-LFIMG& is unknown. I am using this field all over my form but it doesn't like it here. Below is the code that I put in the Program Lines node:

w_lfimg = &gs_vblkp-lfimg&.

Hi,

Please try something like this and define v_kbetr as a charecter type.

&v_kbetr(L)&

Hi Ferry,

I am having trouble betting the value into a character field. Please see my post above. When I try to use the field &GS_VBLKP-LFIMG& I get a syntax error (only in a Program Lines node).

Hi,

Please try this.

data: w_lfmig(13) type c.

w_lfimg = gs_vblkp-lfimg.

...
&w_lfmig(L)&

Ferry,

It still gives me a error saying that "Field GS_VBLKP-LFIMG is unknown". I don't understand this because I am using this field in other parts of my form (but only in text nodes). Should I not put this in a Program Lines node?

Hi Davis,

Did you declare gs_vblkp-lfimg in global data?

Ferry,

I have GS_VBKLP (a work area for VBLKP) declared as a global type.

Hi davis,

import and export this variable 'gs_vblkp-lfimg ' in the program lines i.e mention this variable in input and output parameters.

Hi Davis,

Just before specifying the field in the text element, u need the insert a program code line.

Suppose u need to condense itab-vbeln

In the input parameters, give itab

in output parameters give a field quant which has been declared as char type and declared in global definitions.

Add the code as follows

quant = itab-vbeln.

condense quant.

Now pass this variable 'quant' for displaying in the smartform.

Anoop,

Thank you so much for that post! That did the trick. I forget to add input and output parameters because the window is centered and the input and output parameters do not show unless you scroll up. Thanks so much for your help!
