Hi ,

I came across same scenario ...

use this ...

in first line &mat_desc(20)&

next line weite the code given bellow...

if &mat_desc+20& is not initial . " if description is more than 20 char then only print remaining text

&mat_desc+20&.

endif.

hope this helps ....

hi,

Try this...

in your next line use the following syntax help

&Fieldname+offsetvalue(length)&

in your case... fieldname is description... offset value will be 20 and the length will be the remaining length of the desc or else you can make it 20.
