Inserting tables in the task description

[Richard Marut]

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.

Subject: Inserting tables in the task description

 

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
