I am trying to create a report that uses two lines per record.
The data is project information that contains a wide column holding the project name and many date columns.
The date columns take up most of the area on a landscape letter page leaving no room for the text fields. I could reduce the font size and wrap the text fields, but the product is unreadable by humans.
Other report developers allow the positioning of data on multiple report lines, but I cannot figure out how to do this in WebFOCUS (7.1.1).
Anyone have any suggestions?

Check out OVER and see if that will work for you. You can also search the forum using that as a keyword and you should find lots of examples.

If that is not what you want, post again and let us know.

All of the examples of OVER create a columnar report
PRINT ProjectName OVER
Date1
Date2..
produces
WebFOCUS Upgrade
01/01/09
01/10/09...
What I am looking for is alignment across the page
WebFOCUS Upgrade
01/01/09 01/10/09 .. .. ...

You could put the dates first, as your original post indicates, and then OVER the project name.

It sounds like you are generating a report on project time-line. I would put the project# & name on the subheading and the dates in the detail area, even if you have sort the projects by certain dates. OVER not only folds the data but also folds the headings which is kind of ugly to me.

Hua,

That is exactly what I was looking for.

Thanks
