In case of the SAP Script you can assign the tabl stop in

1-Basic Settings where you can give the default paragraph name and the tab stop positon

so it will work in that particulat paragraph.

2-You can give the tab stop in the Paragraph format where

you can give the paragraph name and the

tab positions and alignments.

Hi,

Tab stops we define in paragraph are replaced by the tabs we define in the form. Tabs are defined by double comma i.e ,,.

They are defined as space from left margin. You may change the alignment for respective tab to left, right or center.

For example :-

if you define say two tabs say 3 and 10.

and say you have following data in form

,,1091,,Material1

,,02,,Material2

these will be formatted as follow:-

1091 Material1

02 Material2

hope this helps.

Enjoy SAP.

TAB stop purpose in SCRIPTS:

TAB is available in Paragraph format. We can give three values for this.

If you give first value it will equal to first tab positions.You can assign these value by giving two comma ',,' in text elements.

Example : Suppose first TAB value as 5 CH. That means it provides 5 character spaces in output.

To assign this Go to Text Elements: give two ,, between two symbols or text.

ex: Material,,Date

Then in output Material and Date seperted by 5 Character spaces.

i.e Material(5spaces) Date

.......... in the same way

for second Tab 4 commas ',,,,'

for third Tab 6 commas ',,,,,,'
