Hi all,

I need help in alignment of PDF report.
I have a table report which has heading before the actual column begins.

I have the following in the HTML table report

Heading 1 : Credit (under this it has 4 columns)
Debit (under this it has 4 columns)

Heading 2 : the columns from the query.
Out of this first 4 columns come under "Credit" heading and the next 4 columns come under "Debit" heading.

I need to center align both "Credit" and "Debit" to thier corresponding 4 columns.

I achieved this in HTML format using the COLSPAN property.

How can we do this in PDF report?

Thanks in advance.

Regards
Aravindbaalaaji

Hello Aravind,

You can achieve this by directly specifying the column number.

For ex:

-IF &DISPFORMAT EQ 'HTML' THEN GOTO DOHTML ELSE GOTO DOPDF;
-DOHTML
YOUR CODE
-GOTO ENDDISP;
-DOPDF
Heading
"<1 Heading1 <50 Heading2 <100 Heading3"
-ENDDISP

Hope this helps,
