Tab positions in sapscripts

I am trying to change a paragraph format such that the tabs contain positions and so the text is displayed starting at a specific position in the document. But adding the tab positions is not moving the actual text. What could I be doing wrong?

CP is the paragraph format
CP        Contact Person                  LEFT           0,10  CM    0,00  CM
15.00  CM          LEFT
This is how I am using it
CP           &acc-sydt&,,&acc-contact&,,&PAGE& / &sapscript-formpages(2)&
This is the window it is been used in
DATE       Date, Your contact and page    9,70 CM   2,00 CM  10,00 CM   1,00 CM
Now I would expect the contact text to start from 15.00 cm. But it does not, it starts right after the date

  • Indent /tab position for text from INCLUDE texts in SAPscript

    Hi, ABAP colleagues!
    Need your help on this sapscript problem:  How to align texts taken from "INCLUDE TEXT" in SAPscript, according to tab defined in Paragraph Format?
    Or, how to control tab positions for texts which were extracted from “INCLUDE text” commands in SAPscript?
    I defined a paragraph format with tab stop at 8 CH so that with 2 commas (,,) my text will be displayed there.  However it always appears to the left (e.g. 1st column) and not indented at the proper column for description/text (e.g. which is in second column). 
    Pls help, bec a different heading and information is not acceptable to client for the Thailand characters. 
    Above is the description of the problem.  Below are some technical details.
    For specific example, I am editing Zversion of standard sap MM form MEDRUCK Window Main -  Text Element Item Text.
    BG ,,&TTXIT-TDTEXT&
    /: INCLUDE &T166P-TXNAM& OBJECT &T166P-TDOBJECT& ID &T166P-TDID&
    /: NEW-PARAGRAPH BG
    So far, tried these approaches:
    PARAGRAPH
    NEW-PARAGRAPH
    LANGUAGE '2'
    THANGSAN font
    Any ideas?
    Thank you so much in advance for all your help. Our project team will really appreciate it. May the Lord bless you as we go through our SAP work!

  • SAPscript - Tab Position need more info

    Greetings.
    Could some one help me to explain the purpose of the tab position and what is  SIGN mean for Alignment attributes.
    In the tab position we can declare many TAB position, if we declare Number -1 Tab Position -17.00 CM Alignment - SIGN
    is it mean when we put , is it the position of the characters will be at 17cm from the left?
    Thank you.

    Hi,
    If you give the First tab position as 14 & 2nd Tab position as 17 c.m., it mean the first printing text starts at 14 C.M. and 2nd text starts from 3C.M.(17-14) next to 1st Tab Position (14c.m), i.e., the difference betn 1st Tab & 2nd Tab will 3 c.m.
    NOTE: Always any tab position starts from Origin not from the previous tab position.
    U dont need to give 2 couple of comma's for 2nd tab position.
    Eg:
    If you want the Text2 at 2nd tab position, u have to print like below:
      P1 ,,text1,,text2
    If you want the Text1 at 2nd tab position, print like below:
      P1 ,,,,text1
    Hope its clear!!

  • Script Paragraph Format-TAB position Problem....

    In Script- Medruck , There is a line:
    IM   ,,,,,,Qty. ,,Unit   ,,Deliv. date ,,,,&ETUHRTXT&
    where IM is a paragraph format with TAB positions at:2,3,23,24,34,40,51,57.
    what is the meaning of ,,,,,,Qty ????
    what is the difference in writing :
    IM ,,Qty,,Unit,,Deliv. date,,&ETUHRTXT&                                 AND
    IM   ,,,,,,Qty. ,,Unit   ,,Deliv. date ,,,,&ETUHRTXT&
    How would the Display look like??

    Hi Srikar again,
    If you are putting one tab position after every field, in this case count tab position from the starting i.e. from first variable and go on countin till end . This will take you adding position one after other and it will not overlap.
    e.g. Mat,,qty,,price
    and tab position as 1 : 5  2: 10 3: 15 4:20
    then mat will start at 1 to 5 and qty will from 10 onward.

  • Tab position change at runtine of tab canvas

    Dear gurus,
    Is it possible to change tab position of tab canvas at runtine in 10g forms?
    George.

    Gerd: Thank you very much for your advice.
    I will explain my situation. I have a form : INV. This has got three tabs : Header, Detail and Expenses. Some users prefer to see Header as the first tab while others want to see Details and still others like to see Expenses.They have their logic - what is important to that particular user he wants to see as the first tab.
    These preferences can be set in a different table(by an admin user) and can be applied once when the form opens and not during the runtime.
    Since tab order change facility is not available in forms, I need to apply the logic in a different way - activate the tab that each user prefers to see as the form opens regardless of the tab order.
    Hope you understand my case.
    George.

  • Script TAB position issue

    Hi,
    I have an issue in creating Tab position under Paragraph section.  I have to display a column like which 10 character length and it is numeric value and also it needs to right justified. 
    if i make the tab right justified .. will system start printing it from right to left or left to right? this is my question.

    Hi,
    if it's right justified it will work as below,
    say you have a tab format
    P1 5CM Right justified,
    in this case it leaves 5CM from the left side of your window & then starts printing from RIGHT TO LEFT.
    say if it's left justified output is,
    >--5CM---->TEST
    right justified output will be,
    >----
    >TEST.
    >--5CM>
    hope this helps.
    Regards,

  • Indent here with left indent changes tab position

    I have a sheet set up with a left indent and then a bunch of tabs.
    e.g.: Course #, Course description, then a set of eight tabs with dates
    The course descriptions are twice as long this year and so I was using indent-to-here (because there are rules below, and shift-return pushes the rule below under the second line only). But the tabs don't line up. They are "looking" at the left indent and making an adjustment - if I increase the left indent then the tabs associated with the indent-to-here line move left (the bigger the left indent the further left they are from the tab position)
    Why?
    Why would anyone want that to be the default behavior?
    I can fix it with a second para style, but it breaks the association between the two lines of the description and now requires manual updating in the future, instead of a simple indent-to-here substitution.
    I'm just wondering why this happens, seems completely counter intuitive - tabs should always align!

    Will: As you can see by the screenshot it's easily "solved" with a second style, my reason for writing is why is this happening? - is this a bug that needs to be reported to Adobe? I don't understand why an Indent Here (given a left Indent), would change the primary attributes of tabs (i.e. lining-up!)
    Peter: Prefs trashed; happens on any/all docs; CS6 (8.0.2). [You are setting a left indent, and then using the Indent Here (Cmd\)??]
    Anyone else able to recreate?
    Appreciate the replies.

  • Just upgrade to 33.1.1, terrible! new tab position not configurable, no response for clicking a link, how can I have the old version? Thanks!

    Just upgrade to 33.1.1, terrible! new tab position not configurable, no response for clicking a link, not going to the website by click "enter", "space" keyboard can not be the page down anymore, always die....
    how can I have the old version?
    Thanks!

    Just to clarify, let's say you have tab 1 Google results and tab 2 something else. When you Ctrl+click a link in tab 1, it opens between tab 1 and tab 2 instead of at the end? Here's how you switch that:
    (1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
    (2) In the search box above the list, type or paste '''tabs''' and pause while the list is filtered
    (3) Double-click the '''browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent''' preference to switch it from true to false.
    You can switch back to an earlier tab and test. Success?

  • Blank tab position: How can I make new (CTRL+T) tabs open on the left instead of far right?

    When I open a new tab (new, blank tab, from a link), it opens on the far right of the tab bar. This doesn't work for me because when I open a new tab, I use it immediately, so I would like it to be appear adjacent to the tab I'm currently using. I've scoured support and forums without finding a way to change the position of new tabs.
    NOTE: When I say "new tab," I am mean NEW tabs - the kind that contain the new tab page, created using CTRL+T or File->New Tab not tabs opened from links. I am emphasizing this point because I have found plenty of questions and answers about how to make links opened in a new tab open on the far right or next to the current tab by changing the value in browser.tabs.insertRelatedAfterCurrent in about:config.

    The [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/tab-mix-plus/ Tab Mix Plus] extension appears to have this feature, pictured in the screen shot here: http://tmp.garyr.net/help/#Events_-_New_Tabs

  • Dynamic image positioning in SAPScript

    Hi everyone!
    I have been searching the whole internet but unfortunately did not find a solution for my problem, maybe someone of you knows how to solve it:
    I want to print thumbnail pictures beside items of an inquiry. I know that there are variable windows, witch can be positioned left to the MAIN window using the x- and y-coordinates. But how can I find out where the item starts and ends to find the right place? Something like a &SAPSCRIPT-CURRENT_LINE& variable would help me a lot to calculate the correct postion relative to the item.
    The items have 3 to n lines, so just multiplying the item number with a fix number of lines wont work. In fact I can not even say for sure if there are one, two, three or more pictures on one side because it depends on the number of lines of the items.
    Does anyone have a solution?
    Best regards
    Bernd

    This is the way I do it...And it works for me -;)

  • How can you have the app tabs positioned to the right of the FireFox button when maximized?

    App tabs are '''normally''' positioned to the right of the FireFox button. However, when you shrink the window and then maximize again the app tabs appear below the FireFox button.
    Anytime an app tab is open and you maximize, adjust window, maximize, the entire tab bar is bumped down under the FireFox button. Having just regular tabs open does not have this problem as they correctly position themselves to the right of the FireFox button when maximized.

    Zero is in the middle where it says "none".

  • New tab positions curser in address bar

    I am not sure what happened during some update along the way, but I would to be able to open a new tab and automatically have the cursor position itself in the first text box available, in my instance, the Google text box. I use Google as my homepage typically because when I go on line it is to conduct research, now when opening a new tab I find myself typing into the address bar which is very annoying. Using tab does not help since I am forced to repeatedly tab through multiple bookmarks and I wind up having to stop and manually position cursor in search box. What happened, is there an option I am missing to fix this irritation? Thanks.

    I have been looking into my issue (or at least one of my many) and it appears to be a problem with a JavaScript. I have found a solution but have not the slightest idea how to enter the "code" into the system. This code applies mostly to on-line forms and how to have the cursor immediately focus on the first text field, but it seems to be only one solution to this problem. Below is one link to the potential solution. Ultimately, I suppose I could just slow down and check but when on a roll it is hard to stop, look at the screen and click the text field I want to use: a drudgery. :o)
    rmeigs, I am curious to know if you use Windows 7, I have Vista Ultimate at home and this annoyance does not occur? Thanks to all for the suggestions, I am still looking. Dolon
