How can we get the field name that's used as an across field?

I am creating a hold file which has an across field too. But when I open that hold table, it shows the value of the across field instead of showing the field name.
for example:
print
min_recorded
BY task_cd
By Supervisor
Across user_id
ON TABLE HOLD AS HOLD1 FORMAT FOCUS INDEX TASK_CD

Now when I want to creat a report based on table HOLD1, it does not show user_id, instead displays the values of that field.

Is there a way to get the report display the field name, instead of values eventhough we use it as an across field?
Thank you very much.

Francis has given an answer on this some days ago

TABLE FILE XXX
PRINT min_recorded
by task_CD
by supervisor
across user_id as 'U'
on table hold format ALPHA.
END

Now all the user_id's are in the hold file with fieldnames like 'U'+idcode

and you can print a report

The disadvantage is that if the number of id's is changing it will be difficult to get this done well.

take a look at my latests question and see Francis solution.

No, I don't want to have all the values of the userid as the fieldname. the Values in the userid will always be changing since the suppervisor is used as a parameter.

when you do an across and HOLD it has to create unique fieldnames somehow. you can have multiple fields called all called user_id. Unless you're doing the across in the hold file for some specific purpose, leave it out of the first TABLE and use it in the query against the HOLD file.
