How to use Tabs Position in SAP Script?

I want to align the script properly.

Hi,

apparently, you are using a different paragraph format for the header than for the items. Each paragraph format has its own set of tabstops. In SE71, go to paragraph format, press the "Tabs" button and compare the tabstops between the table header paragraph format and one used for the table items.

Kind regards

Also pls be aware that print preview is not always showing that actual output. Pls check the printed output or in case of PDF open the attachment.

Kind regards, Simone

Hi,

The tabulator in SAPscript works somewhat more complicated as in the Word: If you use text that extends beyond the tab position, the Sapscript does ot jump to the next tab after that as e.g. Word would do that. Instead, as long as it is needed it will jump to the next default tab
to find the correct position.

You are using the following text and I suppose the tabs are be used .

(I don't have a screen shot about the Line-editor and the TABS definition)

I suppose the text "Sunny Sunny 01" is larger as the next tabulator position and Sapscript composer tries to find an intermediate position using the default tab stop (Basic Settings -> Tab Stop)

As a solution you need to define the tab stop with correct position. Thereafter the Sapscript use tabs, and doesn't need to insert any intermediate steps.

Best regards,
Hedvig
