I have an Across Column that I'd like to WRAP to a certain size. It seems that the stylesheet command WRAP is not available for PDF. I need to, at least, wrap the text in the Across Column into two lines, e.g.
Constitutional Challenge

should be

Constitutional
Challenge

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,

Pietro.

Did you try reformating as a text field (say, TX25)?

I have same issues in my report. When WRAP is applied at the report with across column (TYPE=REPORT,
WRAP=.879), the across values are not getting wrapped. Instead the values are getting overlapped with subsequent across values. If I increase the WRAP, report columns will get spanned across pages.

Is there any way to overcome this issue?

You are missing the AcrossColumn name in your Report type stylesheet.

Try this,
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT CAR
ACROSS COUNTRY
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT PDF
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
TYPE=REPORT,ACROSSCOLUMN=P1,COLOR=RED,
STYLE=BOLD,WRAP=0.05,$
ENDSTYLE
END
-RUN
-EXIT

Hope it helps,

Kamesh,

Thanks for the response. In your response, car values will get wrapped and their colors will be in RED. But I want the country values which is acrossvalues to get wrapped. Is there any way to wrap the across values?

I tried TYPE=ACROSSVALUE,ACROSS=column_name, wrap=.5 which is not working. If I try and change the colors for across values, it is working. But wrap is not working. Is it a limitation?

It is a documented limitation at least in version 5.21 for PDF. I don't know if it was fixed in a later release.

Hi I have same problem of wrapping the acrossvalue in PDF file. Is there any resolution since 2006? I have Adobe reader 8.1.5.
My across value could be a string of ‘AAAA’, or a string of ‘DDDD EE FFFF’. When the across value is more than one line, I need to stack the column heading as
DDDD
EE
FFFF

I have no problem to display this report in HTML and EXCEL. but fail in PDF. The acrossvalue will not wrape,and it overlay the next acrossvalue, becasue I use Squeeze command to force column width.

thanks.

If you run a search on "wrap across column PDF", you will find a number of previous posts on this issue. Apparently, wrapping an ACROSS column in PDF output is very problematic. But in a posting entitled "[SOLVED] wrap in a stylesheet" dated June 19, 2008, mgrackin provides a work-around solution that may solve your issue.
