Hi,

I need to create vertical lines in subhead of a compound PDF report. since the subhead has multiple fields/items iam not able to use BORDER-LEFT=On etc.

please find the image here :

currently iam using the below snippet of code. but this is not the right way and the lines look messy,

  
TYPE=SUBHEAD, BY=THREE,BORDER=MEDIUM,BORDER-COLOR='BLACK',SIZE=22,STYLE=BOLD,$

TYPE=SUBHEAD, BY=THREE,LINE=1, ITEM=1,JUSTIFY=CENTER,SQUEEZE=2.7,$
TYPE=SUBHEAD, BY=THREE,LINE=1, ITEM=2,BACKCOLOR=RGB(150 150 150),JUSTIFY=CENTER,SQUEEZE=7.4,$
-*OBJECT=box, name='line1', position = (0.250 10.90), dimension = (10.0 0.005), backcolor=NAVY, border-color=NAVY,$
TYPE=SUBHEAD, BY=THREE,LINE=1, ITEM=3, BACKCOLOR=BLACK,WIDTH=0.05,$
TYPE=SUBHEAD, BY=THREE,LINE=1, ITEM=4, BACKCOLOR=RGB(160 160 160),JUSTIFY=CENTER,SQUEEZE=2.82,$

can anyone help me in creating these vertical lines . Also the data is dynamic , hence when i give the position for the x and y co-ordinates , the next report in the pdf gets altered.

Thanks!

Check out the use of BORDER-RIGHT, BORDER-LEFT, BORDER-etc... in the TYPE=HEADING section of your stylesheet.

Hi,

its all ib subheadings . Using border-right , border-left did not have any effect on it.
any other resolution ?

Thanks!

The border options work whether it is a SUBHEAD or a HEADING. I use this option in 5 different reports. I pasted some code below from one of those 5 reports.

TYPE=SUBHEAD,
     BY=1,
     LINE=1,
     OBJECT=TEXT,
     ITEM=1,
     BORDER-TOP=LIGHT,
     BORDER-BOTTOM=LIGHT,
     BORDER-LEFT=LIGHT,
     BORDER-RIGHT=LIGHT,
     BORDER-TOP-STYLE=SOLID,
     BORDER-BOTTOM-STYLE=SOLID,
     BORDER-LEFT-STYLE=SOLID,
     BORDER-RIGHT-STYLE=SOLID,
     BORDER-TOP-COLOR='BLACK',
     BORDER-BOTTOM-COLOR='BLACK',
     BORDER-LEFT-COLOR='BLACK',
     BORDER-RIGHT-COLOR='BLACK',
     COLSPAN=1,
     JUSTIFY=LEFT,
