Presentation Question

ab042

How do we kill the white space between Attributes. For example: If you have a 2 column form and the 1st column has
Name
Address
City State Zip
If you make the Presentation Label for City to say: City State & Zip
Then go into the Presentation Label for State & Zip and blank it. It should produce a form with:

City State & Zip ______________ ___ _______ (but it doesn't it looks more like)
City State & Zip ______________ (lot of space) ________________ (again large white space) _________________
which then starts wrapping around etc etc. I haven't found a way to get it clean.

There shouldn't be more than a few spaces of white space between the attributes on the form like this?

Thanks in advise for any suggestions.

I have a similar problem if I imported data into a PlainTest attribute. This only occured if the PlainText attribute was last element imported. (And Yes I did trim the data before extracting to the csv file)

eg. 1,0,Mickey

I overcome this by shuffleing the attribute around and put a Yes/No attribute at the end.

eg. Mickey,1,0

The rule I have to concatintate now no longer contains any white space.

I haven't seen a trim comand in the doco or in the forum.

Just set the width of the group of attributes that you are showing on one line, it gives you full control over the spacing between the attributes.

You can use regular expressions to perform trim operations, e.g. remove trailing spaces (RTRIM):

REPLACE_PATTERN(ThisExample.name, '\s+$', '')
