TBL_OP/A71 = ??? Please help with this line...
TD_OP/A4 = '<td>';

END

First, you need <tr> tags in a <table>.

Second, be aware that each cell in an HTML report is in its own <td> tag and that the report row is in its own <tr> tag. So when you define fields with HMTL tags and print them, they themselves will be within <tr> and <td> tags which may result in messy <table> code.

This works, but does result in messy HTML code:

DEFINE FILE CAR
TBL_OP/A71 = '<table border="2" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="2">';
TR_OP/A4 = '<tr>';
TD_OP/A4 = '<td>';
TD_CL/A5 = '</td>';
TR_CL/A5 = '</tr>';
TBL_EN/A8 = '</table>';
END
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT
TBL_OP
TR_OP
TD_OP
COUNTRY
TD_CL
TR_CL
TBL_EN
END
