Hi All,

I am required to put a footer in my report which is-
"This Report is Confidential Page x of y UserID: xyz"

It is in a single line, with 3 different parts-
1)This Report is Confidential
2)Page x of y
3)UserID: xyz

I want these 3 parts to appear in different cells of excel sheet, I have used HEADALIGN=BODY for it but when I use TABPAGENO and TABLASTPAGE they all appear in different cells.
Code that I have used is-

SET EMPTYREPORT=ON
-SET &USR = GETUSER(USERID);
TABLE FILE TRAINING
PRINT
PIN
COURSESTART
COURSECODE
EXPENSES
GRADE
FOOTING
"This report is confidential <+0> PAGE <TABPAGENO of <TABLASTPAGE <+0> USER ID: &USR "
ON TABLE ROW-TOTAL AS 'TOTAL'
ON TABLE NOTOTAL
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT EXL2K
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
UNITS=IN,
PAGESIZE='SCREEN',
LEFTMARGIN=0.000000,
RIGHTMARGIN=0.000000,
TOPMARGIN=0.000000,
BOTTOMMARGIN=0.000000,
SQUEEZE=ON,
ORIENTATION=PORTRAIT,
$
TYPE=FOOTING,
HEADALIGN=BODY,
$
ENDSTYLE
END

Please guide me.

Piscian,

Your problem is that when using spot markers (the < +0>), WebFOCUS also treats a fieldname (e.g. < TABPAGENO) as a spot marker of sorts, so in your footer text you actually have seven component parts.

You could use HEADALIGN=INTERNAL which will place the whole footing text into a merged cell equal to the width of the report (like COLSPAN=6) which is what most folks do (as I have seen anyway).

I am sure that I have seen a method of column alignment somewhere in the forum but you would have to search for it. I can't remember where it was Frowner. Try searching on HEADALIGN

Thanks Tony.

But when I use HEADALIGN=INTERNAL I get complete message in continuation, like-

This Report is confidential Page x of y UserID:xyz

I want some space between them. Space is not displayed even if I put spaces manually, I have also tried using <3 for inserting spaces but its not working, may be version problem.

Exactly as I said it would -
quote:

Not a version problem but it is how WebFOCUS is and has been Frowner

You could always try to ask for a NFR.

Is there any way we can get spaces inserted between text?

Piscian,

Do you have to have it on one line? If not then you can play on the ability to have separate HEADALIGN properties for FOOTING and TABFOOTING -

SET EMPTYREPORT=ON
-SET &USR = GETUSER(USERID);
TABLE FILE TRAINING
PRINT
PIN
COURSESTART
COURSECODE
EXPENSES
GRADE
FOOTING
"This report is confidential <+0> USER ID: &USR "
ON TABLE SUBFOOT
"Page <TABPAGENO of <TABLASTPAGE"
ON TABLE ROW-TOTAL AS 'TOTAL'
ON TABLE NOTOTAL
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT EXL2K
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
UNITS=IN,
PAGESIZE='SCREEN',
LEFTMARGIN=0.000000,
RIGHTMARGIN=0.000000,
TOPMARGIN=0.000000,
BOTTOMMARGIN=0.000000,
SQUEEZE=ON,
ORIENTATION=PORTRAIT,
$
TYPE=FOOTING, HEADALIGN=BODY, $
TYPE=FOOTING, LINE=1, ITEM=1, COLSPAN=3, JUSTIFY=LEFT, $
TYPE=FOOTING, LINE=1, ITEM=2, COLSPAN=3, JUSTIFY=RIGHT, $
TYPE=TABFOOTING, LINE=1, COLSPAN=6, JUSTIFY=CENTER, HEADALIGN=INTERNAL, $
ENDSTYLE
END

Note that this will only suffice for a single page report as the ON TABLE SUBFOOT will produce one per report. However, if you use this on a page break field then you could be OK.

Never give in, there's always a way (normally Wink)

THIS is ugly, but close

[code]
SET EMPTYREPORT=ON
-SET &USR = GETUSER(USERID);
DEFINE FILE TRAINING
SP/A1=' ';
PG/A15=' Page ';
OF/A4=' of ';
END
TABLE FILE TRAINING
PRINT
TABPAGENO NOPRINT
TABLASTPAGE NOPRINT
PIN
COURSESTART
COURSECODE
EXPENSES
GRADE
BY SP NOPRINT
-* ON SP COMPUTE FT1/A30='PAGE '|EDIT(TABPAGENO)|' of ' | EDIT(TABLASTPAGE);
ON SP SUBFOOT
"This report is confidential USER ID: &USR "
ON TABLE ROW-TOTAL AS 'TOTAL'
ON TABLE NOTOTAL
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT EXL2K
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
UNITS=IN,
PAGESIZE='SCREEN',
LEFTMARGIN=0.000000,
RIGHTMARGIN=0.000000,
TOPMARGIN=0.000000,
BOTTOMMARGIN=0.000000,
SQUEEZE=OFF,
ORIENTATION=PORTRAIT,
$
TYPE=SUBFOOT,
HEADALIGN=BODY,
$
TYPE=SUBFOOT,
ITEM=1,
HEADALIGN=BODY,
COLSPAN=2,
$
TYPE=SUBFOOT,
ITEM=2,
HEADALIGN=BODY,
JUSTIFY=RIGHT,
$

TYPE=SUBFOOT,
ITEM=6,
HEADALIGN=BODY,
JUSTIFY=RIGHT,
$
ENDSTYLE
END

[\code]
the only other suggestion I can make is to put '*' or '-' or some other printable character to space out the line.
