I have an amper variable in my report header that is followed by a / character then another amper variable and should display as 01/2008 however it displays as 01 / 2008 in HTML output.

Has anyone run into this before and if so is this a kerning issue or is there a way aroung it?

You can use -SET &NEWVAR = TRUNCATE(&VAR) to remove any trailing spaces from &VAR.

so your heading looks like this, i imagine
HEADING
"&MONTH / &YEAR "
is that it?
so try this
HEADING
"&MONTH/&YEAR"
..
if that doesn't do it, then your inbound &vars have blanks in them;
-SET &MYHEADING = &MONTH || '/' || &MYYEAR ;
you'll note that double concat doesn't always help with &vars, so look up the STRIP function to remove blanks (or any other char); The HELP button in DevStu is the quickest way to get the defintion of a function like STRIP.
-s.

Mike,

The easiest: use the vertical bar | after your first &variable:
-* File MikeD1.fex
-SET &MO='03';
-SET &YR='2009';
TABLE FILE CAR
HEADING
"&MO|/&YR"
BY COUNTRY
END
