I thought this would be easy. The docs states "When a field occurs more than once, use field(n) to select a particular occurrence or field(*) to select all occurrences of the field."

Neither seems to be working as advertised - for COMPUTE columns occurring more than once , only the first occurrence is styled. For DEFINE or normal columns it works.

DEFINE FILE CAR
COUNTRYY/A12 = COUNTRY;
END
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT
COUNTRY
COUNTRYY
COMPUTE COUNTRYX/A12 = COUNTRY;
COUNTRY
COMPUTE COUNTRYX/A12 = COUNTRY;
COUNTRYY

ON TABLE SET STYLE *

TYPE=REPORT, COLUMN=COUNTRY(*), COLOR=RED, $

TYPE=REPORT, COLUMN=COUNTRYY(*), COLOR=YELLOW, $

TYPE=REPORT, COLUMN=COUNTRYX(*), COLOR=BLUE, $

ENDSTYLE
END

Please try not to confuse the tool so much!

DEFINE FILE CAR
COUNTRYY/A12 = COUNTRY;
END
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT
COUNTRY
COUNTRYY
COMPUTE COUNTRYX/A12 = COUNTRY;
COUNTRY
COUNTRYX
COUNTRYY

ON TABLE SET STYLE *

TYPE=REPORT, COLUMN=COUNTRY(*), COLOR=RED, $

TYPE=REPORT, COLUMN=COUNTRYY(*), COLOR=YELLOW, $

TYPE=REPORT, COLUMN=COUNTRYX(*), COLOR=BLUE, $

ENDSTYLE
END

!

Nice solution.

I was doing this in a Dialogue manager loop where I was repeatedly computing the column - I'll find a different way to do it, perhaps using DEFINE.

Thanks,


Francis
