How remove extra whitespaces in a Text Field

[gudluri]

  Hi Friends,

I have a Text Field.

What happens now is, there is a huge gap between this Text Field and the next report element. I find out reason for that, That text filed occupied more space.

My report looks like this(The name is a dynamic value) :

SSS Reference#          8           | GeneratedOn        01/01/2012

SSS Reference# 8 | GeneratedOn  01/01/2012

Hi,

 

It would be easier to understand your problem if you would upload some screenshots or drawings to explain.

However, if I understood correctly, you want text fields from the right of the page to move towards the left, depending on the length of some string in between.

This kind of movement is not possible in JR. Elements keep their declared width and their width cannot be dynamic. Instead, depending on the lenght of their content, text fields can grow in height. We call this stretching, to accomodate longer text that wraps on multiple lines. But I guess this is not what you need.

A possible workaround for you would be to simply concatenate the several text involved in a single text field, using + in the text field expression.

 

I hope this helps.
