how can i set tab-points in sap script text elements?

i want to display the inernal table fields in some fixed places.

hi,

first u need to define the pargraph format and the u can give tab spaces lenth in the tabs fields.

suppose ur window size is 100 ch and u have 3 fields to be displayed equally in the window.then u need to define the first tab as 33 ch and next is 66 ch.

and then give like this,

p1 field1,,field2,,field3.

if u specify left justified ur result will be written from left to right and vice versa.

reward me if helpful.

thanks,

Hi,

You can make use of Tabs in the following way:

1. Go to paragraph format and choose the corresponding paragraph format (eg HR) related to the field to be displayed.

2. Go to 'Tabs' tab and give the tab position :

for eg : number tab position alignment

1 5.00 CM LEFT

2 10.00 CM LEFT

2. Go to the text editor of that particular window in which the field(eg : v_text1 v_text2 ) is used.

2. then write in text editor in the following way :

HR ,,v_text1,, v_text2

So, your v_text 1 will appear after 5 cm from the left hand side and v_text2 will be displayed after 10cm from left hand side..

Reward points if helpful.
