1) I would like to conditionally modify the font colour of data rows.

2) I also would like to set the column width of certain columns.

Doing these two in the same report is causing me problems:

1) The data row conditional colour does not work on columns where WRAP is specified - for both Excel and HTML.

2) Commenting-out the data row background colour makes the numeric columns left-justified - for HTML, the justification problem is not an issue in Excel.

-SET &ECHO=ALL;

-SET &WFFMT='HTML';
-*-SET &WFFMT='EXL2K';

SET PAGE=NOLEAD
SET HTMLCSS=ON
SET BYDISPLAY=ON

DEFINE FILE CAR
COL_FLAG/A1 = IF COUNTRY EQ 'ITALY' THEN 'Y' ELSE 'N';
END

TABLE FILE CAR
SUM
WARRANTY
STANDARD
HEIGHT    AS 'A LONG COLUMN TITLE FOR HEIGHT'
WEIGHT    AS 'A LONG COLUMN TITLE FOR WEIGHT'
LENGTH    AS 'A LONG COLUMN TITLE FOR LENGTH'
WIDTH
SALES
FUEL_CAP  AS 'FUEL CAP'
BHP       AS 'BRUTE HORSEPOWER'
COL_FLAG

BY COUNTRY AS 'COUNTRY'
BY CAR AS 'CAR'

ON TABLE SET STYLE *

TYPE=DATA, BACKCOLOR=(WHITE SILVER), $
TYPE=DATA, COLOR=RED, WHEN=COL_FLAG EQ 'Y', $

TYPE=REPORT, COLUMN=COUNTRY, WRAP=OFF, $
TYPE=REPORT, COLUMN=WARRANTY, WRAP=OFF, $
TYPE=REPORT, COLUMN=WEIGHT, WRAP=80, $
TYPE=REPORT, COLUMN=HEIGHT, WRAP=80, $
TYPE=REPORT, COLUMN=LENGTH, WRAP=80, $
ENDSTYLE

ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT &WFFMT
END

Francis,
I think your TYPE=REPORT overrides your TYPE=DATA.

This is the line that is causing the issue (I think) as it appears to be the last styling applied -

TYPE=DATA, BACKCOLOR=(WHITE SILVER), $

T

I guess WebFOCUS styling isn't cascading, though TYPE=DATA shouldn't override TYPE=REPORT. I've opened a case, will update here...

I'm having an exact same situation here, TYPE=REPORT overriding TYPE=DATA, has something come up by now or is there a work around maybe?

Thanks,
SWES

It seems the only workaround is to repeat the styling for the columns where other styling is specified:

-SET &ECHO=ALL;

-SET &WFFMT='HTML';
-*-SET &WFFMT='EXL2K';

SET PAGE=NOLEAD
SET HTMLCSS=ON
SET BYDISPLAY=ON

DEFINE FILE CAR
COL_FLAG/A1 = IF COUNTRY EQ 'ITALY' THEN 'Y' ELSE 'N';
END

TABLE FILE CAR
SUM
WARRANTY
STANDARD
HEIGHT    AS 'A LONG COLUMN TITLE FOR HEIGHT'
WEIGHT    AS 'A LONG COLUMN TITLE FOR WEIGHT'
LENGTH    AS 'A LONG COLUMN TITLE FOR LENGTH'
WIDTH
SALES
FUEL_CAP  AS 'FUEL CAP'
BHP       AS 'BRUTE HORSEPOWER'
COL_FLAG

BY COUNTRY AS 'COUNTRY'
BY CAR AS 'CAR'

ON TABLE SET STYLE *

TYPE=DATA, BACKCOLOR=(WHITE SILVER), $
TYPE=DATA, COLOR=RED, WHEN=COL_FLAG EQ 'Y', $
TYPE=DATA, COLUMN=COUNTRY, COLOR=RED, WHEN=COL_FLAG EQ 'Y', $
TYPE=DATA, COLUMN=WARRANTY, COLOR=RED, WHEN=COL_FLAG EQ 'Y', $
TYPE=DATA, COLUMN=HEIGHT, COLOR=RED, WHEN=COL_FLAG EQ 'Y', $
TYPE=DATA, COLUMN=WEIGHT, COLOR=RED, WHEN=COL_FLAG EQ 'Y', $
TYPE=DATA, COLUMN=LENGTH, COLOR=RED, WHEN=COL_FLAG EQ 'Y', $

TYPE=REPORT, COLUMN=COUNTRY, WRAP=OFF, $
TYPE=REPORT, COLUMN=WARRANTY, WRAP=OFF, $
TYPE=REPORT, COLUMN=WEIGHT, WRAP=80, $
TYPE=REPORT, COLUMN=HEIGHT, WRAP=80, $
TYPE=REPORT, COLUMN=LENGTH, WRAP=80, $
ENDSTYLE

Got it Francis, but the only matter I have is that I need to wrap a column for a PDF output and can't figure how to combine it with specifying it twice?

 $
TYPE=REPORT,
     COLUMN=NAME,
	 WRAP=3.00000,
$
TYPE = DATA, BACKCOLOR = RGB(215 235 194), WHEN = FLAG EQ 1,$
TYPE = DATA, BACKCOLOR = RGB(255 255 255), WHEN = FLAG EQ 2,$

This won't work:

 $
TYPE=DATA,
     COLUMN=NAME,
	 WRAP=3.00000,
$
TYPE = DATA, BACKCOLOR = RGB(215 235 194), WHEN = FLAG EQ 1,$
TYPE = DATA, BACKCOLOR = RGB(255 255 255), WHEN = FLAG EQ 2,$

This won't work either:

 $
$
TYPE=REPORT,
     COLUMN=NAME,
	 WRAP=3.00000,
	 BACKCOLOR = RGB(215 235 194), WHEN = FLAG EQ 1,$
$
TYPE=REPORT,
     COLUMN=NAME,
	 WRAP=3.00000,
	 BACKCOLOR = RGB(255 255 255), WHEN = FLAG EQ 2,
$
TYPE = DATA, BACKCOLOR = RGB(215 235 194), WHEN = FLAG EQ 1,$
TYPE = DATA, BACKCOLOR = RGB(255 255 255), WHEN = FLAG EQ 2,$

SWES, what if you flip the order of your Style Commands. Since Style Sheets read top down and it seems that the TYPE=DATA command is removing your WRAP command maybe having the below will work better. Also why are you issuing TYPE=REPORT? I would just have used TYPE=DATA, and then if needed I would set my TYPE=HEADING for the specific column.

$

TYPE = DATA, BACKCOLOR = RGB(215 235 194), WHEN = FLAG EQ 1,$
TYPE = DATA, BACKCOLOR = RGB(255 255 255), WHEN = FLAG EQ 2,$

TYPE=REPORT,
     COLUMN=NAME,
	 WRAP=3.00000,
	 BACKCOLOR = RGB(215 235 194), WHEN = FLAG EQ 1,$
$
TYPE=REPORT,
     COLUMN=NAME,
	 WRAP=3.00000,
	 BACKCOLOR = RGB(255 255 255), WHEN = FLAG EQ 2,
$
  

Thank you for your reply Eric. Changing the order is what I tried before, what happens is that the WRAP command doesn't work anymore. What do you mean by changing to TYPE=HEADING?

 $
TYPE = DATA, BACKCOLOR = RGB(215 235 194), WHEN = FLAG EQ 1,$
TYPE = DATA, BACKCOLOR = RGB(255 255 255), WHEN = FLAG EQ 2,$

TYPE=HEADING,
     COLUMN=CLIENTNAME,
	 WRAP=3.00000,
	 BACKCOLOR = RGB(215 235 194), WHEN = FLAG EQ 1,$
$
TYPE=HEADING,
     COLUMN=CLIENTNAME,
	 WRAP=3.00000,
	 BACKCOLOR = RGB(255 255 255), WHEN = FLAG EQ 2,
$ 

Like this?

Thanks,
