Good day,

I have this PressTalk

define(&i,integer,0)
&iNbLignesAffichees:=0
translate(.9886,4.55)
For(&i,0,1,&iNbPersonnes-1)
&iLigneDebut:=(&i*41)+23
&iLigneEnCours:=&iLigneDebut
&iNbLignesAffichees:=&iNbLignesAffichees+1
show(trim(@(&i+3,1,99)))
translate(2.75,0)
Repeat()
show(trim(@(&iLigneEnCours,1,99)))
crlf(.1823)
&iNbLignesAffichees:=&iNbLignesAffichees+1
&iLigneEnCours:=&iLigneEnCours+1
if(&iNbLignesAffichees=30)
showpage()
&iNbLignesAffichees:=1
&iLigneEnCours:=&iLigneEnCours-1
endif()
until((trim(@(&iLigneEnCours+1,1,5))='') or &iLigneEnCours=&current.lpp)
translate(-2.75,0)
crlf()
crlf()
Endfor()

The first line of my item is not set to the specified 2.75, the subsequent lines are. What am I doing wrong?

Tx

Yves

what if you would print some sample text right after the very first translate (line 3)?
Would that text have an indent?

Try this:

define(&i,integer,0)
&iNbLignesAffichees:=0
translate(.9886,4.55)

For(&i,0,1,&iNbPersonnes-1)
&iLigneDebut:=(&i*41)+23
&iLigneEnCours:=&iLigneDebut
&iNbLignesAffichees:=&iNbLignesAffichees+1
translate(2.75,0)
show(trim(@(&i+3,1,99)))


Repeat()
show(trim(@(&iLigneEnCours,1,99)))
crlf(.1823)
&iNbLignesAffichees:=&iNbLignesAffichees+1
&iLigneEnCours:=&iLigneEnCours+1
if(&iNbLignesAffichees=30)
showpage()
&iNbLignesAffichees:=1
&iLigneEnCours:=&iLigneEnCours-1
endif()
until((trim(@(&iLigneEnCours+1,1,5))='') or &iLigneEnCours=&current.lpp)

translate(-2.75,0)
crlf()
crlf()
Endfor()

Tx for your suggestion Martin.

I have tried it and no the text does not have an indent.

Tx for your suggestion Jean-Cedric,

If I try

translate(2.75,0)
show(trim(@(&i+3,1,99)))

The name showing is at 2.75 inches, not a .9886.

Sent you a private message

Can't tell you why this is happening and if you really need to know then I suggest you open a technical support ticket via our website but I did found you a fix.

Before your translate(2.75,0), add a crlf(0) and that's it!

Tx Jean-Cedric. Your solution works perfeclty.

I don't need to know why, ignorance is blessed.

Thank you for helping move my presstalk forward.
