Inserting tables in the task description

[Mark Pyc]

I thought I had replied to this originally.

Make a method that accepts your table of fields and returns a table with a 
single text field (72 chars wide, or whatever you deem appropriate) that 
formats your table data into formatted text. There are no simple formatting 
options for such data directly in task long text maintenance.

Have fun,
Mark

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).



Richard...

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
