[CLOSED] Set up the space between heading and data in a FML report
Hi all,

I would to supress the blank line that appear between the heading and data in a FML report. For example, I have this report:

DEFINE FILE CAR
  CAMPO/I1=DECODE COUNTRY('ENGLAND' 1 'ITALY' 2 'JAPAN' 3 'W GERMANY' 4);
END
TABLE FILE CAR
HEADING
"SOME DUMMY HEADING"
SUM SALES
FOR CAMPO
1 AS 'TOTAL INGLATERRA' LABEL R1 OVER
2 AS 'TOTAL ITALIA' LABEL R2 OVER
4 AS 'TOTAL ALEMANIA' LABEL R3 OVER
3 AS 'TOTAL JAPÓN' LABEL R4 OVER
RECAP TOTEUR/I9=R1+R2+R3; AS 'TOTAL EUROPA'
ON TABLE SET PAGE-NUM NOLEAD 
ON TABLE NOTOTAL
ON TABLE SET HTMLCSS ON
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
  INCLUDE=endeflt,
$
TYPE=REPORT,BORDER=LIGHT,BORDER-STYLE=SOLID,BORDER-COLOR=RGB(66 70 73),$
TYPE=DATA,COLUMN=SALES,STYLE=BOLD,$
ENDSTYLE
END


As I've mentioned before, this makes that report displays a blank line between the heading and data, and I would like that the report don't show this blank line. I have done it with this:

DEFINE FILE CAR
  CAMPO/I1=DECODE COUNTRY('ENGLAND' 1 'ITALY' 2 'JAPAN' 3 'W GERMANY' 4);
END
TABLE FILE CAR
SUM SALES AS ''
FOR CAMPO
"DUMMY HEADING" LABEL C1 OVER 
"SALES" LABEL C2 OVER
1 AS 'TOTAL INGLATERRA' LABEL R1 OVER
2 AS 'TOTAL ITALIA' LABEL R2 OVER
4 AS 'TOTAL ALEMANIA' LABEL R3 OVER
3 AS 'TOTAL JAPÓN' LABEL R4 OVER
RECAP TOTEUR/I9=R1+R2+R3; AS 'TOTAL EUROPA'
ON TABLE SET PAGE-NUM NOLEAD 
ON TABLE NOTOTAL
ON TABLE SET HTMLCSS ON
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
  INCLUDE=endeflt,
$
TYPE=REPORT,BORDER=LIGHT,BORDER-STYLE=SOLID,BORDER-COLOR=RGB(66 70 73),$
TYPE=REPORT,LABEL=C2,JUSTIFY=RIGHT,STYLE=BOLD,$
TYPE=DATA,COLUMN=SALES,STYLE=BOLD,$
ENDSTYLE
END


But I don't like how it looks, and I think perhaps there's other way to do this, without this extra code. I haven't found it in the WF manual and neither in this forum.

Any help is welcome, thank's.

With a little bit of additional styling, your second set of code can be made to display as you wish:

DEFINE FILE CAR
 CAMPO/I1=DECODE COUNTRY('ENGLAND' 1 'ITALY' 2 'JAPAN' 3 'W GERMANY' 4);
END
-*
TABLE FILE CAR
 SUM SALES AS ''
 FOR CAMPO
 "SOME DUMMY HEADING" LABEL C1 OVER 
 "SALES" LABEL C2 OVER
 1 AS 'TOTAL INGLATERRA' LABEL R1 OVER
 2 AS 'TOTAL ITALIA' LABEL R2 OVER
 4 AS 'TOTAL ALEMANIA' LABEL R3 OVER
 3 AS 'TOTAL JAPÓN' LABEL R4 OVER
 RECAP TOTEUR/I9=R1+R2+R3; AS 'TOTAL EUROPA'
 ON TABLE SET PAGE-NUM NOLEAD 
 ON TABLE NOTOTAL
 ON TABLE SET HTMLCSS ON
 ON TABLE SET STYLE *
  INCLUDE=endeflt,$
  TYPE=REPORT,BORDER=LIGHT,BORDER-STYLE=SOLID,BORDER-COLOR=RGB(66 70 73),$
  TYPE=REPORT,LABEL=C1,JUSTIFY=CENTER,STYLE=BOLD,SIZE=12,$
  TYPE=REPORT,LABEL=C2,JUSTIFY=RIGHT,STYLE=BOLD,COLOR=WHITE,BACKCOLOR=BLACK,$
  TYPE=DATA,COLUMN=SALES,STYLE=BOLD,$
 ENDSTYLE
END

Thank's for your suggestion Dan, but I have mentioned I would do this without this kind of (styling) solution. But, seem's there's no other way....

Thank's.

You can always open a case with IBI Tech Support to see if they have a solution.
