Hello,

I am trying to show the result of a column in form of bullet points in my PDF report.
For Example: I want to see the different values of CAR in the form of a bulleted list in PDF

TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT 
    CAR AS ''
WHERE COUNTRY EQ 'ENGLAND'
ON TABLE SET NOTOTAL
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT PDF
END

I want to see the display as 

• JAGUAR
• JENSEN

and so on...


Is this possible in WF 7.7.03? If so, how do I get those bullet points?

Thanks!

Why not just use DEFINE or COMPUTE to add the "•" to the field ?

Yep, thats what happens when you overthink it. Been there done that (a lot).

But, keep in mind that this is for a particular font, and that could be a problem if the font is changed.

You could also add an bullet image beside your text field.
That will become independent of font style.

Isn't there a built-in feature these days in graphics to use "traffic lights"... I guess that would still require using a "burnt out" light though.
