How do you remove the space between the page heading and the top of the report without turning off all borders? Right now it displays like this:

Title of report

Column Title
Column Data

I want:

Title of report
Column Title
Column Data

Hi There - if you will do a search on the forum that question has been mentioned many times.

If I was able to find an easy solution, I wouldn't be posting here.

If you want borders you'll have to live with the space. I don't believe this was resolved in 7.7.x nor WF8 (as far as I can tell). You might put in a case asking for an NFR.

As Alex says, you will (unfortunately) have to live with that blank in between the HEADING and TITLE is you want borders.

I saw a demo at Summit where a setting takes care of that for you automatically but *only* works for PDF output:

SET DROPBLNKLINE=HEADING

Though DROPBLNKLINE was added in 7.6.11, I am not sure as of which WF version the "HEADING"value is supported.

If you open a NFR for this functionality to be available for ALL other styled output formats (HTML, EXL2K, EXL07,...) similar to how it works for PDF, please share the news. I may open one myself.

DROPBLNKLINE= option .... control blank line display in report
option: ALL .... combine ON and HEADING options
option: BODY .... exclude system generated blank lines
option: HEADING .... removed blank lines from headings, titles, report body and footings
option: OFF .... [default] inserts system blank lines and empty data lines
option: ON .... exclude system generated blank lines
I thought this SET command was added in 7.7.04 - perhaps just some of the options were added.
From the WebFOCUS Keysheet around page 187.

DROPBLNKLINE

From the WebFOCUS DevStudio v7.7.03 documentation it appears it was added before v7.7.04 and does not specify it only works for PDF:

DROPBLNKLINE - The DROPBLNKLINE parameter suppresses blank lines around subtotals, subheadings, and subfootings when formatting a report for output. In addition, certain data lines may be blank and appear as blank lines on the report output. You can eliminate these blank lines from the report output using the SET DROPBLNKLINE=ON command.

This setting does not apply to the following output formats: HOLD/PCHOLD/SAVE formats ALPHA, INTERNAL, BINARY, COM, COMT, COMMA, TAB, TABT, FIX, DFIX, all DBMS, VSAM, LOTUS, SYLK, DIF, FOCUS, and XFOCUS.

The syntax is: SET DROPBLNKLINE = {OFF|ON} where:

OFF - Leaves blank lines in data and blank lines automatically inserted by WebFOCUS in the report output. OFF is the default value.

ON - Removes blank lines of data and blank lines automatically inserted by WebFOCUS from the report output.

In v8, the settings was extended to include other attributes: SET DROPBLNKLINE={OFF|ON|BODY|HEADING|ALL}.

quote:
Works in positioned formats (PDF, PS, DHTML, PPT) when a request has a border or backcolor StyleSheet attribute anywhere in the report.
