Inserting tables in the task description

[Dywan, Abigail]

Has anyone found a solution to this one?  I need to be able to print an
entire table of values in my email but  I don't believe the approach
mentioned will work as "LOOP" is not one of the SAPscript control
commands.  
 
Any thoughts are greatly appreciated - thanks!
Abby  :)

Carmen,

 

You can put ABAP statements into the task description by going to the
menu path Edit -->Command -->Insert Command and choose Command and then
type in your command. You'll have to type in the expression with the &'s
surrounding it because you can't choose it while entering the command.
It's a little tricky to get it to work but a little patience will get
you there. Just do each command one at a time on a separate line. I have
never tried a loop but I'm sure you can figure if out.

 

As for the alignment of columns, I have never had much luck with that
due to the font being used. If you could figure out how to switch to a
fixed font where all characters are the same length, please let me know
(all of us in the group, that is).

Hi all 

I'm trying to insert a table of values, from the workflow container, to
a workflow task description to be sent our users.

As the table does not have field headings, I need to format the output
to make it understandable. 

I've tried to export each field as a new table and inserted  'all lines
as cont. text', one field under another; however, the fields do not
align nicely due to their varying lengths. 

E.g. 
&ITEM[]& 
&VALUE[]& 

Each record from these individual field tables can be also written one
by one, by specifying the record number e.g. Item: &ITEM[1]& for the
first record.

Is it possible to have a loop to define how many records are written to
the task description? 

I'd really appreciate any other ideas on how to go about this. 

Thanks 

Carmen
