In my column title, apart from the column names, i need some thing else also to be displayed like:

purchase information
col1 col2 col3 col4 col5

where col1...5 are column names and i want to display 'purchase information' above these columns and center justified. any idea how to do this? (output format is pdf). it might be simple but iam new to webfocus. thanks in advance.

A heading would work if it is by page, but if you want it on a by sort item, a subhead, but then you would have to play with column heading names in the subhead as they appear the subhead not below and are page specific.

You can use the COLSPAN option to merge columns.

See this previous post for the details:

Unfortunately, these solutions will not work for PDF reports.

You will need to use POSITION or WIDTH to get this to work in PDF output. I have an example of this some place I will try to find it and post it up.
