problem with smartforms printing unknown text variable

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have a question in smartforms printing, they are using variable lv_clei to print the modal no for print modal in smartforms.

but when printing they are using as &'CLEI #: 'lv_clei& ,  to be clear as  &CLEI #: 'lv_clei& please note this is not syntax error and they are intentionally printing like this , 

I want to know how this variable is interpretted and how it prints the value, I know &LV_CLEI& prints the variable value of lv_clei

Thanks,

RG

'CLEI #: '   text with in quotes as static text and print as it is.

lv_clei   this is dynamic text, print variable value

Hope this helps.

Hi ,

Thanks for your reply , the behaviour is if variable LV_CLEI is blank the static text CLEI is not printing if LV_CLEI variable is not blank the static text along with the value is printed.

Thanks,

Correct. See explanation of that formatting option: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/d1/8034ee454211d189710000e8322d00/frameset.htm
