Just add a comma to the title.
Example:
MONTH/A6 =DECODE MONTH( 200501 'Jan,05' 200502 'Feb,05')

Hi

Use can use ( ,) to break the title in multiple lines . Please check the below code

TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT
CAR AS 'CAR, TITLE'
COUNTRY AS 'COUNTRY, TITLE'
ON TABLE SET PAGE-NUM OFF
END

Thanks

Waz nice idea with the course. In Germany WebFocus is not a big player in BI, i think Information Builders germany has 15 Consultans. it is not so easy to get a training for a comman price. The Comma does not work, i have additinal text in () breakets. And i think between these () the comma does not work.

Christian,

I dont see any problem in breaking the column title.

If you can tell us how you use DECODE function for your column title, we can figure out what causes the problem.

Here's the sample code,
-SET &TITLE = '(BLA vor Ort; abc defgh dfghjkl dc fff, ttt ttt mmm eeee eeeee ttttt tttt tt mit nnnnnn)';
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT CAR
COUNTRY AS '&TITLE'
END

The simple use of comma in the decode does not work here.
The decoded field is a new field value and will be used in an ACROSS statement.
The use of a comma to break a field only works in an AS command.

There might be an other solution by breaking up the decoded value into 2 different fields and use those fields both in the across.

But I also do remember there was an other option. I saw that here on focalpoint.
Did you do a search ?

found it



DECODEDFIELD/A100=DECODE FIELD(A 'verlong string A' B 'Very long string B' C' 'all the other longs strings' );
VERYLONGSTRING/A110 = PARAG(100, DECODEDFIELD, '\', 15, 'A110');

PART1/A15 = GETTOK(VERYLONGSTRING, 40, 1, '\', 15, 'A15');
PART2/A15 = GETTOK(VERYLONGSTRING, 40, 2, '\', 15, 'A15');
PART3/A15 = GETTOK(VERYLONGSTRING, 40, 3, '\', 15, 'A15');
etc


Now you can use the 3 or more splitted fields in your across

One option is to TABLE HOLD with the ACROSS, it will create columns. Then TABLE the result, and you can control the width by normal means.
