If I comment out the remarks on the subhead the report is displaying fine. When running with the remark on subhead, the first record on the report is displaying twice. Could anyone know how to fix this?

I think this will do what you want. First put a reference to a CSS CLASS called "WRAP" in your WF stylesheet like so:

TYPE=HEADING, LINE=4, ITEM=2, SIZE=10, JUSTIFY=LEFT, CLASS=WRAP, $

Then set white-space to normal in a CSS entry called "WRAP" like so:

.WRAP {white-space: normal;}

This seems to work for me.

How do I put the style sheet entry for .WRAP {white-space: normal;} ? This report is a part of a complex ompound report which is on pdf format.

You can do it in an externally referenced CSS or you can do it directly within the HEAD tag of your HTML file like so:

<style type="text/css"><br />< !--<br />.WRAP {white-space: normal;}<br />--><br /></style> 

But mine is a pdf report.

can you tell me which version are you running on?

I tried in my machine having Webfocus 5.3.3 version and it works fine.

I am running it on webfocus 5.3.3 too. If you are interested I can email you the 2 pdf (with & without remarks) reports.

Interestingly, on my WebFOCUS 5.3.3 server the PDF file is not generated correctly when the HEADING styling is present. The first row of column REPORT_VAL is duplicated and ovrwrites the first line for some reason. If I comment out the HEADING styling, the data is displayed correctly wrapped.
There's a bug somewhere in the generation of the PDF file, prhaps due to a large column displayed i n the Heading or data.

For me the pdf is getting generated with the heading style on but as you said the the first row is getting displayed twice, overlapping with each other.

Yes, send it to me.

Still a problem on 7.1 on XP as well. I think you need to raise a case with IB on this.

The reply from IBI was "The longest character string available in webFOCUS is 256 bytes.
Character data longer than that is considered TEXT, and you may not place text fields into SUBFOOT or SUBHEAD text. "

Kamesh emailed me this modified code (Changed the HEADING to ON TABLE SUBHEAD) which is displaying it correctly. Thanks for your help Kamesh.
