Long list - styling

Hi,
Does anyone know any type of styling that can be done on long lists? For example, I am displaying a long list (1 column) of table entries that are drilldowns. The list can be from 500 up to 150,000+ rows - it varies. Instead of having the user scroll down through them all, I'd like to make it more presentable - i.e. maybe break out that long list into multiple columns instead of one long one. Any ideas?

Thx

If the list breaks itself naturally into groups, the ON GROUPNAME SUBHEAD would provide a natural break.
Like COUNTRY and MODEL
ON COUNTRY SUBHEAD
"<COUNTRY"

or..
present the report aggregated into those GROUPNAMES and let the user click on a GROUPNAME to get the same report for only the list values within that GROUPNAME.
or..
if you're making a dropdown list that is long,
use an <OPTGROUP LABEL= "..."> tag to break up the list.

susannah - thx for the suggestion but the data really cannot be grouped. i was wondering if you can group any way by record number? so, for example, records 1 - 500 are column 1, 501 - 1000 column 2, etc.

Try this row/column technique:

DEFINE FILE CAR
COL/P6 WITH MODEL = IF COL LT 4 THEN (COL + 1) ELSE 1;
ROW/P6 WITH MODEL = IF COL EQ 1 THEN (ROW + 1) ELSE ROW;
END
TABLE FILE CAR
SUM MODEL
BY ROW NOPRINT
ACROSS COL NOPRINT
END
