What version are you using.
How did you build your compound report.

In my compound reports I have added the page heading (company logo, report name, printdate) in the compound script and not in the included FEXes.

I am using WebFocus 7.6

Each compound report contents a small set of data, for example:

HEADING

"Transit:
"Account Number:


HEADING

"Client Information:
"Client Indicator:
However, the width of the heading border is depends on the max length of the
data field
How to max the border width and not depends on the data field

Linda101,

Try turning the SQUEEZE OFF. When SQUEEZE is set to ON, the HEADING locks itself to the column widths but when SQUEEZE is OFF it stretchs to the MARGINS of the report regardless of the column widths.

Try this:

TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT COUNTRY CAR MODEL
HEADING
"This is the HEADING text"
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT PDF
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
TYPE=REPORT, SQUEEZE=OFF, LEFTMARGIN=0.50, RIGHTMARGIN=1.5,$
TYPE=REPORT, COLUMN=MODEL, WRAP=1.5,$
TYPE=HEADING, BORDER=MEDIUM,$
ENDSTYLE
END

Mickey,

Thanks a lots!! It works well!
