[CLOSED] PDF Output -- How are you guys printing Less-than-or-equal-to?
I can't get a Less-than-or-equal-to sign to appear in a pdf doc. Anyone know how to do this? I'd hate to have to make it an image and get it aligned each time the form changes.

John,

Where exactly are you trying to place an Less-Than-Equal-To (<=) sign on your PDF report?

Header?
Body?
Footer?

Thanks,
prodrigu

Have you thought about using a different font for the <= char.

If you have it or you could add it, Symbol has a ≤ Char

Are you getting error? or is it not visible in output?

Thanks,
Ram

It's in a heading. I don't get an error, instead I get a block that looks like a Chinese character.

I hadn't considered declaring the font Symbol. I'll have a look at that. Thanks.

By a cruel twist of fate, I can get greater-than-or-equal-to to appear, but not less-than-or-equal-to. This is using the symbol font. Quite strange. I get a little question mark instead.

Really weird.

I can see the less-than-or-equal-to at 156, but not greater.

DEFINE FILE SYSCOLUM
 CNTR/I9 WITH NAME = IF LAST CNTR EQ 0 THEN 32 ELSE LAST CNTR + 1 ;
 Cntr/I9 WITH NAME = CNTR - 32 ;
 Col/I9  WITH NAME = (Cntr / 30) + 1 ;
 Row/I9  WITH NAME = IMOD(Cntr, 30, 'I9') ;
END
TABLE FILE SYSCOLUM
   SUM CNTR 
       COMPUTE
       CHAR/A1 = HEXBYT(CNTR, 'A1') ;
ACROSS Col	NOPRINT
BY Row		NOPRINT
