Report Builder and moving fields...
12/04/03 at 09:48:07
 
I have a problem with the output when using the report builder to make custom reports.  The problem is that when I put text in one spot, and then a field from the database DIRECTLY below, they don't line up.  Take this for example, if I wanted to output something like...
 
Part:  AEF-756
Qty :  215
Size:  Two Inch
 
This would output like:
 
Part:  AEF-756
Qty :           215
Size:  Two Inch
 
I have set all fields to Left justify for the fields on the right and it dosen't appear to work for numbers.
 
Anyone?

Yeah, my DBA programmer told me that this is an inherent bug in the TAS language and how it interoperates with that striped-down version of the Delphi Report builder.

I did find a work around if anyone is having this problem.    Data types r,i, and n are all not justified properly.  
 
1.  Define a temporary variable,  type A
2.  Put numeric data into that variable  
3.  Justify the variable (in the program)
4.  Output to report
 
For example....
 
define number_var type i  
define temp_field type a size 30
 
number_var = 3323432.454
number_var = temp_field
 
just temp_field left

Whoops, the bit of code there should read....
 
define number_var type i  
define temp_field type a size 30  
 
number_var = 3323432.454  
temp_field = number_var
