aling left

foronavision

Hello.

I'm making a report to export information to a file. In this file text fields have to be left aligned but I don't find any function that makes this. Can anybody help me?

Thank you very much!!

You can write some function that fills the export value with spaces.

I thought text-fields are always left-aligned.

Yes, I thought the same...

Yes, but if you want to write fixed format file, you sometime need add spaces to the right... :-) And you need some function for that...

And one warning! If you will want to allign code field, you will be not sucessfull. Why? Because Navision trims the white spaces from both sides.

You could use the Format function with the Filler or Filler Character Attribute. Take a look at the c/side help for the Format Property. Hope this helps.

And, for text and code, PADSTR(...) will produce a 'fixed length' string.
