TAB in paragraph format for Script

hi,
i am doubt with the tabs for paragraph format in the script. how actually it work? i try to make change on the tab, but some time even i put a larger value, the space in the output will become smaller, can anyone explain to me how the tab actually work?
thanks

Thanks you very much.
but one more question, let say, if i have 3 tabs for an output.
HARLO,,MY,,WORLD,,!
any i configure the tabs as, 20, 30,15 all in CH
so after the "HARLO, it will have 20 CH of spacing, follow by "MY", 30 spacing, and 'MY" 15 spacing, end with "!"?
it this the way it works?
or it works in accumulate way, which include the text display as well?
i found in the forum, say that, it will fix the length of a field( if i display a field), even there is no any value in that field. so how does it work on this?
alot of question very thansk for the temper.

  • TABS in paragraph format

    Hi experts,
    I am working on script.I have to display the output in below format
    LABEL
       FIELD1
       FIELD2
    I have created one window and assigned it to one paragraph format but my out put is not coming in desired format.please clarify how to use TAB in a paragraph,what is the meaning of ,,
    Thanks in advance

    Hi abhishek,
    USE of Tabs:
    The use of Tabs in Paragraph format is to separate the two texts. Suppose see for paragraph format P1, the tab space u have assigned is say suppose 5cms.
    In the script, consider in any of the window you have given like
    P1     Text1,,Text2
    In the Form Output,
    the Space between text1 and text2 will be 5cms like given below:
    Text1                Text2.
    So here ,, will take the value 5cms which comes from the paragraph format p1. Suppose u didnt give any paragraph format and given tab as given below:
        Text1,,Text2
    Here ,, will take the normal tab space value.
    Solution for your Question:
    To print in the below format:
    Label1
    Field1
    Field2
    give the code in the se71 as given below:
      Label1
      &wa_f1&
      &wa_f2&
    Please if you got any more douts, reply back.

  • Use of "Next paragraph same page" check box in paragraph format of SCRIPT?

    Hi Guys,
    What is the use of "Next paragraph same page" check box in paragraph format of SCRIPT?
    Don't Send me the F1 help ....i am not clear with that help it is quite confusing.
    Provide example if possible.
    Solutions will be rewarded.
    Regards,
    GURU

    Hello.
    You probably know the idea of PROTECT command. It makes that a paragraph wont break in two. If it fit's totaly in one page it will print in that page. If not, it will print totaly in the second page (won't break at the middle).
    The checkbox you are asking, makes the same with two paragraphs. This means that if you have paragraphs A and B (A becomes first) and if paragraph A has that option, the next paragraph won't break, and appear in the second page. If paragraph A is in first page, paragraph B will print in first page too, or they will both print in second page.
    Try it.
    Best regards.

  • Using paragraph format for long text...

    Hello,
    When I try to print the long text using include then
    it starts printing from the very first line.
    But I want to use some paragraph format for it. How can I use it because I am using
    /: INCLUDE '200007200000100' OBJECT AUFK ID KOPF
    So where do I mention the paragraph format in the tag column becaue I am already using /: controll command in font of the include ?

    Check this thread...
    SAPScript - Standard Text
    It looks like the PARAGRAPH P2 statement can do that declaration, on the subsequent line.
    This website also has some good examples:

  • Use two different paragraph formats for one element

    Hi,
    I think this is really simple, but I don't get it.
    I have an element with the name "Step" and I have two paragraph formats for this element. Both for numbering.  I use one of these formats to set the numbering back to one, so I can  start with number 1 anywhere I want, so I think there is noch real  context rule for this case. How do I declare this in my EDD? Is it possible to say my EDD that it is possible to use both.
    Thanks.

    Dokuteam,
    In most cases I have seen context rules using the sibling indicator { first } to handle the start of numbering.
    If you want to be able to control restarting of the numbering anywhere, you can add an attribute to the element, like restart = yes | no with "no" being the default value. Then  your context rule would use an attribute indicator similar to
    If [restart = "yes"]
      use PgfFmt1
    Else
      use PgfFmt2

  • Paragraph format in scripts

    hi experts,
    in scripts, in paragraph formats we have a tan called "outline".
    can any one help me to know abt that. plz give me what is the purpose of it, n how to implement that one. i mean how to use it.
    thanks in advance for ur responce.

    hi
    good
    The paragraph numbering and marking attributes are used to structure texts into chapters, subchapters, and sections. Numbering is carried out automatically by SAPscript.
    You can create an outline with the entry options available:
    Outline
    Enter the name of the highest-level paragraph in an outline hierarchy here. The outline hierarchy is created by assigning this paragraph to all outline paragraphs.
    Outline level
    Enter the level in the outline hierarchy. The outline levels of the paragraphs are numbered upwards from 1; the highest outline level therefore has the outline number 1.
    Number margin
    Specify the space between numbering and window border. Note that your numbering may extend into the text area of the paragraph if the difference between the left margin and the number margin is not great enough to hold the numbering characters.
    Left/right delimiter
    Specify the character that precedes or follows the numbering.
    Number chaining
    Specify whether you want the paragraph numbering of the paragraph to be preceded by the numbering of all higher paragraphs in the hierarchy.
    Example for number chaining
    with   without
    3.     3.
    3.1     1.
    3.2     2.
    3.2.1     1.
    Character string
    Specify the numbering format. The numbering can be assigned a different font or character format to the rest of the paragraph.
    Numbering type
    ARABIC
    Arabic numerals: 1, 2, 3.
    CHAR Fixed character: letter or numeral, entered in the field
    LETTER Letters: A-Z
    ROMAN Roman numerals: I, II, III, IV
    Depending upon the numbering type that you select, the following attributes may also apply:
    Fixed character
    Define the fixed character to be used for numbering. You should only make an entry in the field Fixed character if you have specified CHAR as the numbering type. Fixed characters include + - and o .
    Output length
    Enter the number of characters for Arabic numerals.
    Upper case
    Specify for letters or Roman numerals.
    check this link hope this will help you to solve your problem.

  • Paragraph Format for Notes, Tips & Warnings With Graphics

    I have been reading Publishing Fundamentals and it says you can create a paragraph format that uses the Frame Above Pgf & Below Pgf and Graphics Frames to create a Paragraph Style for Notes, Tips, Warnings, etc. that includes lines above and below and a graphic to the side.
    I am attaching a FrameMaker file that shows what I have been able to accomplish and also shows what I really want. To look at this file, save it and rename, dropping ".text" from the file name.
    I am using FrameMaker Version 8.0p277 (the Technical Communications Suite version). My colleagues all have FrameMaker 8 (not the Tech Comm Suite version) and I need to share my template with them.
    I appreciate any and all suggestions,
    Cheryl

    Hi, Cheryl:
    Search Google for "siliconprairie autotext" (without quotes) for an inexpensive tool, and "reficons" (without quotes) for a free tool. They both are useful for this kind of thing.

  • Regarding Paragraph format in SAP Script

    Hi SAP Gurus,
    Can any one please tell me the use of TABS in paragraph formats in SAP Script.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Pavan Bandaru.

    Hi
    first you define you tab in paragraph formats.
    whene you must use this pharagraps you
    just insert double comma before the text.
    ,,&matnr&
    attention because if you define more than a tabulator il will take the tabulator in sequence.
    ,,(1st tab)&matnr&,,(2nd tab)&matnr&
    if i define a tabulator of 2cm and another of 3cm and you insert 4 comma
    ,,,,&matnr&
    it will take the summ of the two tabulator.

    Hi,
      This happens when your program is not actually copied to Current client language. For example English. This is can be solved by following the procedure mentioned.
    1. Make sure that the program is copied into your client in the current system language.
    2. Open the Script in SE71. Click <b>UTILITIES->CONVERT.ORIG.LANG</b>. Screen will pop up. It displays the orginal language of the script. Change the language to "EN' (assuming EN to be the current language). Now save and try to create the paragraphs.
