Output different in PDF format
The example code is below:
 
Table File Car
Sum    Price  over
       Discount over
       SellingPrice 
By     CarBrand NOPRINT
ACROSS TheYear
ON CarBrand Subhead
"<CarBrand"
ON TABLE SET ONLINE-FMT OUTFORMAT
END
 


When the OUTFORMAT is HTML or Excel, the output is display fine. But in PDF, the output is totally different.

Any suggestion to me !

Thanks, Joy
I used the GRID=ON already, but it is still the same problem to me!

Any Idea !?

What exactly is "different"? Is the code example you gave close to what your actually trying to produce or does it have more formatting items?

TABLE FILE CAR
SUM DEALER_COST OVER
RETAIL_COST OVER
SALES
BY CAR NOPRINT
ACROSS COUNTRY
ON CAR SUBHEAD
"<CAR"
ON TABLE SET ONLINE-FMT PDF
END

Thanks, Rick
In my sample code, the ACROSS field (TheYear) is output different.
When the output is in HTML/EXCEL, the ACROSS field's position is fine. But, when the output is in PDF, the ACROSS field align to LEFT.
