A bit of a wierd problem.
If i run the below code with output html I get each line of the table footing in three colors.
But when I run the same code with output PDF, each line is colored with the same color.
Is there a way that you konw of to get the lines to display as they do in html?

Code used:

TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT
     CAR
     MODEL
BY COUNTRY
ON TABLE SUBFOOT
" <+0> <+0> TEXT LINE 1"
" <+0> <+0> TEXT LINE 2"
" <+0> <+0> TEXT LINE 3"
ON TABLE SET PAGE-NUM OFF
ON TABLE NOTOTAL
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT html/pdf
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
     UNITS=IN,     SQUEEZE=ON,     ORIENTATION=PORTRAIT,$
TYPE=REPORT, GRID=OFF, FONT='ARIAL', SIZE=9, STYLE=NORMAL,$
TYPE=TABFOOTING, LINE=1, OBJECT=TEXT, ITEM=1, BACKCOLOR='RED',   WIDTH=1.25, $
TYPE=TABFOOTING, LINE=1, OBJECT=TEXT, ITEM=2, BACKCOLOR='GREEN', WIDTH=1.25, $
TYPE=TABFOOTING, LINE=1, OBJECT=TEXT, ITEM=3, BACKCOLOR='BLUE',  WIDTH=3.25, $
TYPE=TABFOOTING, LINE=2, OBJECT=TEXT, ITEM=3, BACKCOLOR='RED',   WIDTH=3.25, $
TYPE=TABFOOTING, LINE=2, OBJECT=TEXT, ITEM=2, BACKCOLOR='GREEN', WIDTH=1.25, $
TYPE=TABFOOTING, LINE=2, OBJECT=TEXT, ITEM=1, BACKCOLOR='BLUE',  WIDTH=1.25, $
TYPE=TABFOOTING, LINE=3, OBJECT=TEXT, ITEM=1, BACKCOLOR='RED',   WIDTH=1.25, $
TYPE=TABFOOTING, LINE=3, OBJECT=TEXT, ITEM=2, BACKCOLOR='GREEN', WIDTH=1.25, $
TYPE=TABFOOTING, LINE=3, OBJECT=TEXT, ITEM=3, BACKCOLOR='BLUE',  WIDTH=3.25, $
ENDSTYLE
END

Any ideas?

I have the same problem.
after lunch I have a meating with Marco our IBI accountmanager. I will ask if he knows the solution....

Gamp,

If I run this against my Client's config (without change) for PDF then I get the same results as per HTML output - which is one colour per line

Surely it can't be a 7.6.2 change of function?

Frank, doe Marco W maar de groetjes van me.

Tony, I've tested this in just about every recent release, and it all comes out the same for me: 3 colors per line for htm, 1 color per line for pdf.
Haven't tried excel (yet). I wonder what the result will be there.....

I also tested on 762 and it works fine with both formats.

It works fine in 7.6.4 ON LINUX and 5.3.6 on windows.

Ginny, Leah,

Did you make the same oversight as I did first time around? There should be three different colours on each footing line - not the single colour.

On 7.1.3, I have to add "ON TABLE SET HTMLCSS ON" to get the three colours per line in HTML. Still only red - blue - red in PDF though.

You're right, Tony. I get red-blue-red across the whole line. I played around with moving the spot markers with no success.

So then I went into the Report Painter and used the new 'Alignment Grid' option, didn't fool around with any justification, and I got the 3 colors on a single line with HTML but not PDF.

Here is the code:

TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT 
     CAR
     MODEL
BY COUNTRY
ON TABLE SUBFOOT
"TEXT<+0>Line<+0>1"
ON TABLE SET PAGE-NUM OFF 
ON TABLE NOTOTAL
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT HTML
ON TABLE SET HTMLCSS ON
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
     UNITS=IN,
     SQUEEZE=ON,
     ORIENTATION=PORTRAIT,
$
TYPE=REPORT,
     GRID=OFF,
     FONT='TIMES NEW ROMAN',
     SIZE=10,
$
TYPE=TABFOOTING,
     LINE=1,
     OBJECT=TEXT,
     ITEM=1,
     BACKCOLOR='RED',
     JUSTIFY=LEFT,
     WIDTH=1.000,
$
TYPE=TABFOOTING,
     LINE=1,
     OBJECT=TEXT,
     ITEM=2,
     BACKCOLOR='GREEN',
     JUSTIFY=LEFT,
     WIDTH=1.000,
$
TYPE=TABFOOTING,
     LINE=1,
     OBJECT=TEXT,
     ITEM=3,
     BACKCOLOR='BLUE',
     JUSTIFY=LEFT,
     WIDTH=1.000,
$
TYPE=TABFOOTING,
     LINE=2,
     OBJECT=TEXT,
     ITEM=1,
     JUSTIFY=LEFT,
     WIDTH=1.000,
$
TYPE=TABFOOTING,
     LINE=3,
     OBJECT=TEXT,
     ITEM=1,
     JUSTIFY=LEFT,
     WIDTH=1.000,
$
ENDSTYLE
END
 

This is the opposite of what GamP is getting.

No Ginny, it's exactly what I get on all releases and platforms I have access to.
I think I'll open a case with IBI for this.
By the way, excel outpout behaves the same as PDF, one color per line.
