Inserting tables in the task description

[Mark Pyc]

G'day Hal,

You certainly can.

It can be done in either the PC style or line based text editor.

In the PC based one you choose from the menus to Insert a Command

I prefer the old style line based version where you set you line to be a 
"command line" indicated by either ':/' or '/:' (I can never remember 
which). Then insert an IF statement as follows:

/:   IF &ContainerElementName& = 'SomeFixedValue'
*   Your conditional text goes here.......
/:   ENDIF

You can use menu 'Insert > Expression' to put in the Container Element.

It makes your Workitems much more stylish!

Have fun,
Mark

Richard,

      Can you direct me to some documentation concerning ABAP statements
w/i a task description, or perhaps pass along an example.  I have a
situation where we are using the description task as the content of an
e-mail, complete with container values.  The client would like to have a
text variable that is dependent on a container value.  Your response to
Carmen give me the impression that I could vary the text content
depending on the container value within the task description.

Thanks

Hal Fairless

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
