Dynamic formating in smartforms

Question

I'm just curious if there is a possible to create a dynamic formatting in Smartforms. What I mean saying dynamic? Lets imaging that I've a strucure where I've following information;
LINE_NUMBER
TEXT
This structure is used to build a table, where I can assign one or more text to one line.
So my example data in this table will be:
LINE_NUMBER | TEXT
1 | my first item
1 | first item description
1 | some other text
2 | second item
2 | second item extended name
2 | second item additional text
2 | second item summary text
and so one...
So I can have varying texts number assigned into one line (max 8).
Now I want to use paragraph, with 8 prepared tabs.
Now the problem comes, how to pass this texts into tableline inside smartform and do not prepare separate lines for 1,2,3... elements?
Any idea? It is possible to prepare data in variable which looks like:
1,,my first item,,first item description,,some other text
and display this data in such way, that commas will be recognized as tabs formatting in paragraph instead displaying them?

hi..try this...
create table->create a line type as required.
loop at itab containing ur data.
in the main area of the table create a row:
right click on main area->table line
in the output options of the row assign the line type from the drop down. in the condition of the row give the condition wa-LINE_NUMBER = 1.
similarly create other rows(table lines) giving the conditions 1 to 8.
that is you will have 8 table lines with conditions:
row1 condition -> wa-LINE_NUMBER = 1
row2 condition -> wa-LINE_NUMBER = 2
row3 condition -> wa-LINE_NUMBER = 3
row8 condition -> wa-LINE_NUMBER = 8
so if line_number = 1 then row 1 will be use..
if its 8 then row 8 will be used......
inside the rows u can use different text elements with different para formats...
