Documentation

Definition

To be able to fill in pre-printed forms, the characters must be spaced correctly so that they fit the preset fields. Since SAPscript forms do not allow variable character spacing, this text field is provided for data transport from the application into the form. The character spacing can be increased by leaving a space between each character in the field.

For example, the text field must contain 9 characters in order to print 5 characters in a form. The general rule is: n characters in a form require n filled characters in the text field and n-1 spaces, i.e. 2n-1 text field characters.
