Inserting tables in the task description

[Dywan, Abigail]

Hi All -

Thanks for the great suggestions so far, and I definitely agree with the
concept of building my entire internal table into one single-field
internal table.

My question is:  how do I get the text to print each and every row of
the internal table when I do have it in single-field format?  I'll never
know if I have 10 rows, or 50 rows - and I am not sure how to get the
task description to print each row.  

If I'm being obtuse - my apologies. 
Thanks -
Abby :)

Hi Abby, 
I believe your best option has already been mentioned - build up your
text in a seperate method using ABAP. An idea to get around proportional
fonts might be to insert tab characters, I'm not too sure how well that
will work though, and it can also get messy. Cheers Mike
