In Dev. Studio I have created reports with footer formated as coded here:


"Report Prepared On:<+0> <+0>&DATEtrMDYY <+0> <+0>Page:<+0> <TABPAGENO <+0>of<+0> <TABLASTPAGE"

When I run it in browser and print it I see that 'Page: a of b' displays right next to the "Report Prepared On:<+0> <+0>&DATEtrMDYY"
element.


Anyone have a suggestion to add maybe 10-15 spaces between these elements?

Thanks, Confused

I would think you would need to add something like this to the styling of the report. Each space between the <+0> represents 1 item.

"Report Prepared On:&DATEtrMDYY <+0> Page: <TABPAGENO of <TABLASTPAGE"

TYPE=FOOTING, LINE=1, WIDTH=2, ITEM=1, $
TYPE=FOOTING, LINE=1, WIDTH=2, ITEM=2, $

I need to add at least 10 spaces in between the item 1 and item 2.

Why not set the width of Item 1 to say 3-4 (inches), it should provide the extra space that you need.

Here's a way to make spaces.
DEFINE FILE CAR
SP/A1 = HEXBYT(160, 'A1');
SP02/A2 = SP|SP;
SP05/A05 = SP|SP|SP|SP|SP;
SP10/A10 = SP05|SP05;
END

Then you just insert SP10 where ever you need.

I'm guessing your output is HTML but if you are displaying in PDF you can do something like this:

TABLE FILE CAR
SUM
  RETAIL_COST
BY COUNTRY
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT PDF
ON TABLE SUBFOOT
"HI<+10>BYE"
END

i don't know if HEADALIGN=BODY works for footers...there's an nfr for you,
but also, along the lines of Prarie's suggestion
when i need to force some spaces
HEADING
" &|nbsp; &|nbsp; &|nbsp; &|nbsp; myheading"

html will honor 1 space then i force in an explicit space, using the escape character after the &. So this example gives me 8 space in total before the myheading bit.
