(CLOSED)Making Recompute the same width as data

I have an issue that i hvae not been able to find a solution to see abbreviated code below.
The output displays the RECOMPUTE field more narrowly than the data fields. The numbers line up but the background doesn't.

Is there a way that I can control this? Either with the style sheet formatting or a set command. I have searched the forum but have not found any threads regarding this. Perhaps I am not searching for the appropriate string. Thanks

It sounds like you are looking for something like headalign.

quote:
Syntax: How to Align a Heading or Footing Element in an HTML or PDF Report
TYPE = {REPORT|headfoot}, HEADALIGN = option, $
where:

REPORT
Applies the chosen alignment to all heading and footing elements in a report.
headfoot
Is the type of heading or footing. Valid values are TABHEADING, TABFOOTING, HEADING, FOOTING, SUBHEAD, and SUBFOOT.
option
Is the type of alignment. Valid values are:
NONE which places heading items in HTML reports in an embedded HTML table inside the main (body) table, and strings together, in a single cell of the embedded table, all the heading items (text and fields) on a line. In PDF reports, this uses the default alignment heading alignment. NONE is the default value.

INTERNAL which places heading items in an HTML table of its own, with each item in a separate cell. This allows the heading items to be aligned vertically with each other, independent of the data columns. The widths of the heading items do not affect the widths of the report columns and vice versa.

Note: HEADALIGN=INTERNAL is not supported in PDF reports.

BODY which aligns heading items with data columns. For HTML output, this places the items in the cells of the same HTML table as the body of the report. Since they have the same column widths, the items in the heading and the data in the body of the report line up naturally. For PDF output, this aligns the heading or footing elements with the data columns.

Note: HEADALIGN=BODY does not support paneling.

For related information, see Comparing Output Generated With HEADALIGN Options. You can combine HEADALIGN options with the COLSPAN attribute to allow heading items to span multiple HTML table columns. For details, see Aligning a Heading or Footing Element in an HTML, EXL07, EXL2K, or PDF Report.

Eric thanks its definitely PDF so as you noted HEADALIGN=INTERNAL is out. What are you referring to when you say HEADALIGN =BODY does not support paneling?

I will keep researching but so far neither
TYPE=REPORT,
HEADALIGN=FOOTING,
$
or
TYPE=FOOTING,
HEADALIGN=REPORT,
$

has worked

Geoff,

It should be:

TYPE=REPORT,
HEADALIGN=BODY,
$

the Headalign options are one of the following: NONE, BODY, INTERNAL

Setting the REPORT to headalign, should bring everything into the same columns. You might need to use colspan to get things to cross columns properly, but this should help you keep things in alignment.

Paneling is when your report stretches wider then the width of the page. So say your PDF page is 8.5 x 11 and the report end up being 12 inches wide. The last inch (plus your margin) will be split onto a second page that would be numbered as 1.1 . Basically there is no overflow for width when using headalign = body. But since you are creating a letter/transcript, I don't think you want paneling anyways.
