This may do what you require, depeding on the complexity of the report heading:

TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT *
WHERE READLIMIT EQ 100
WHERE RECORDLIMIT EQ 100
HEADING
"THIS IS A TEST"
ON TABLE SET PAGE NOLEAD
ON TABLE SET STYLESHEET *
TYPE=REPORT, GRID=OFF, FONT='ARIAL', SIZE=8, $
TYPE=HEADING, HEADALIGN=BODY, BACKCOLOR=RED, $
ENDSTYLE
END

Chelsea,

I hate to say it but I have seen this problem and have not found a way to color the background of only a portion ("CELL") of a HEADING line when the output is PDF. I have only seen it color the background of the whole line as you are experiencing.

Sorry.

Mickey


Thanks!

Mickey's right, this is a pain. However, you can do it with 2 passes using compound reports. It's not the most elegant way to do it, but it works!

SET PAGE=NOLEAD

TABLE FILE CAR
HEADING
"This is a Heading Line"
PRINT COUNTRY NOPRINT
IF RECORDLIMIT IS 1
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT PDF OPEN NOBREAK
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
TYPE=REPORT,RIGHTMARGIN=6,$
TYPE=HEADING,LINE=1,BACKCOLOR=GRAY,$
END

TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT COUNTRY CAR MODEL
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT PDF CLOSE
END

Lot's of ways to play around with the RIGHTMARGIN (making it more dynamic, etc.), as well as specifying the OPEN/CLOSE feature, but this works.
