PK97777: DOORS ONLY PROVIDES THE NUMBER OF TAB STOPS (INDENTS) AND NOT THEIR SIZE.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• TLOG#53198
  
  DOORS only provides the number of tab stops (indents) and not
  their size. In consequence the RPE's is not identical to the
  initial Word look. This issue is logged against DOORS
  DRML.
  
  
  When you copy text from Word that has a .5' indent, you get the
  code '\pard\li720'. When you copy a 1' indent, you get the code
  '\pard\li1440'. Note that the way the text displays in the DOORS
  module is the correct length for the indents. However, in the
  RPE generated report, the indent lengths are effectively
  doubled. The previously .5' indent from Word becomes a 1' indent
  when it comes back to Word. The previously 1' indent from Word
  becomes a 2' indent when it comes back to Word. I expect the
  output to be the same as it appears in DOORS (excluding any RPE
  properties one may have set or Word styles that may override). I
  need the output to be exactly as it appears in the DOORS module.
  If possible, we would like a temporary workaround for this issue
  that does not involve having to completely reformat the text
  (unless there's an automated way to reformat all the text in the
  project, of course).

  ****************************************************************
  When using RPE, exported data that contains indents and tabs
  only takes into account the number of tabs/indents, not the
  size
  

Problem conclusion

• The code has been changed so that indents/tabs are reflected
  more accurately on export, when using RPE
