     CAR.COMP.CAR
ON TABLE NOTOTAL
ON TABLE SET HTMLCSS ON
ON TABLE SET PAGE-NUM NOLEAD 
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT PDF
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
$
TYPE=REPORT,
     BORDER-TOP=MEDIUM,
     BORDER-BOTTOM=MEDIUM,
     BORDER-LEFT=MEDIUM,
     BORDER-RIGHT=MEDIUM,
     BORDER-TOP-STYLE=DOTTED,
     BORDER-BOTTOM-STYLE=DOTTED,
     BORDER-LEFT-STYLE=DOTTED,
     BORDER-RIGHT-STYLE=DOTTED,
$
ENDSTYLE
END

ON TABLE SET PAGE-NUM NOLEAD

END


/*** In document composer ***/

*-HOLD_SOURCE
-* File fex_pdf

As far as I know you can't do it through pdf composer.

Can't you just edit your code and add the BORDER-???-STYLE=DOTTED to it as diogopc has shown ?

What you will find is that composer is deleting the code that is does not understand.

This does not mean that the code does not work. If you run the report it should be OK.

Keep in mind that once you go down this path, you have two choices.

1. move away from composer
2. re-add the custom code each time you edit with composer
