I'm having problems using borders for column titles and subtotals. If you put a bottom border on all of the column titles, how can you have a break/space in the border between each column? I just get a continuous line underneath all of the column titles. And the same with subtotals. Here's what I get:

name age
________________
robert 25
lisa 40


What I want to have:

name age
________ _____
robert 25
lisa 40

Thanks for your suggestions.

HTML? PDF?

The border settings you used should work for PDF, so I will assume the issue is with HTML.


HTML is a cell-based display and the border are applied to the cells, hence the issue.

The only thing I can think of is to create dummy columns between each real column and set the border width for these dummy columns to zero.

The output is pdf and I still don't get any spaces between the columns for the border. I have tried using blank column between all of the real data columns and it works. Not the best solution but at least the end result is right. Let me know if there's a setting for pdf that will create the space between borders.

thanks

If you don't use borders, you get underlined text for column titles:
SET BYDISPLAY=ON
TABLE FILE CAR
SUM SALES
BY COUNTRY
BY CAR
HEADING
" "
ON TABLE SET PAGE NOLEAD
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT PDF
ON TABLE SET STYLESHEET *
TYPE=REPORT, GRID=OFF,
FONT='ARIAL', SIZE=8, $
ENDSTYLE
END

If you use borders, you get borders around the whole "cell":
SET BYDISPLAY=ON
TABLE FILE CAR
SUM SALES
BY COUNTRY
BY CAR
HEADING
" "
ON TABLE SET PAGE NOLEAD
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT PDF
ON TABLE SET STYLESHEET *
TYPE=REPORT, GRID=OFF, FONT='ARIAL', SIZE=8, $
TYPE=TITLE, BORDER=LIGHT, $
ENDSTYLE
END


I don't know how to change this behaviour.
