I am writing a report. It has 18 columns. I am trying to print this report on one page. This report output is in PDF format. I developed this report, but this report has a lot of space between cloumns. I tried to squece columns to the maximum leve for my data SQUEEZE=0.375000,. However, it just squezes the data part of the column. The space between columns still stays the same. Is there a way I can reduce space between the columns. I couldnt find answer on focal point search for this issue.

2. I am trying to put a line under clumn headins from first colum to last column. Cureny columns are underline, but there is no line beween spaces between cloumns. What do I need to do to draw a line under all columns headings?

This might help:

TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT SEATS AND SALES
BY COUNTRY
BY CAR
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT PDF
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
TYPE=TITLE, STYLE=BOLD, BORDER-BOTTOM=LIGHT, $
ENDSTYLE
END

Creating Reports with WebFOCUS Language manual provides lots of information on report formatting and style sheets. It may be worth reading to get some ideas.

I haven't been able to make that happen in EXL2K format. Your can adjust each column width by using:
TYPE=REPORT, COLUMN, N1, WRAP=n, $


but you have to know in advance the actual width you want.

To really have the "squeeze" behaviour in Excel as it happens in HTML, you may need to produce the report in HTML format and make it consumable by Excel.

Search HTMLFORMTYPE in the forum to get some ideas about that.

Please keep in mind that as you'll be indeed creating an HTML report (Excel is used just to open it), Excel-specific features such as: FORMULA or PIVOT tables are not supported (or so I think).
