Multiple rows for ACROSSTITLE
Is it possible to have the ACROSSTITLE to span multiple rows? I want the name of the Day on one row and the actual date on line 2. I've managed to do it for HTML output with the following code:

D_DAY_NAME2/A23 = IF '&SEL_OUTPUT' EQ 'HTML' THEN D_DAY_NAME | '<br>' | D_DATE ELSE D_DAY_NAME;

(D_DAY_NAME contains the Day Name and D_DATE the actual date).

My question is if it is possible to do it for PDF and EXCEL?

We're on WF 5.2.7 on IBM iSeries.

Tia,

One way you can accomplish this is through using multiple ACROSS fields. I just mocked this one up.

TABLE FILE <tablename>
SUM COMPUTE DOL_AMT/D20.2 = 999.99 ;
COMPUTE ID_DATE/I8YYMD = RUN_DATE; NOPRINT
COMPUTE D_DAY_NAME/A12 = DOWKL(ID_DATE,D_DAY_NAME);
BY D_DATE
BY ENTITY_TYPE_CODE
WHERE RECORDLIMIT EQ 10
ON TABLE HOLD AS TEST
END

TABLE FILE TEST
SUM DOL_AMT AS ''
BY ENTITY_TYPE AS ''
ACROSS D_DATE NOPRINT
ACROSS D_DAY_NAME AS 'Date'
ACROSS D_DATE AS ''
ON TABLE SET PAGE-NUM OFF
END

By using this method, you will see two lines for the acrosstitles.

I use this method regularly and it does work for both PDF and EXL2K.

I hope this helps.

Thanks,

why that didn't come into my mind. I must have left at least part of my brain at home...
