Column Headers for Across Output

I have a query that is creating an "across" output (as an access developer, I think of this as a cross-tab query).

TABLE FILE 2070BASE
SUM
CNT.EMPLID

BY TYPLEV
ACROSS JOB_FAMILY

ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT EXL2K
END

I am trying to manually name the resulting column headers from the "ACROSS JOB_FAMILY" line.

Is this possible?

Need a little more clarification on what you mean for naming the column headings. Do you mean each across column has a different heading? Or you want to change the general heading for all columns?

The code creates three columns:

TYPLEV JOB_FAMILY_1 JOB_FAMILY_2
1 1 10
2 2 20

I want to change the value of the "JOB_FAMILY_1" and "JOB_FAMILY_2" column headers to be "LEVEL_1" and "LEVEL_2".

FOCUS will use the values of the the ACROSS field, for the column headings.

So, can you programatically create a new field to ACROSS on, related to your original field?

For example: 

  
DEFINE FILE CAR
 LEVEL/A10 = IF COUNTRY EQ 'ENGLAND' THEN 'LEVEL_1' ELSE
              IF COUNTRY EQ 'FRANCE' THEN 'LEVEL_2' ELSE 'LEVEL_3';
END
TABLE FILE CAR
SUM    CNT.SEATS
BY     CAR
ACROSS LEVEL
END


Yields:

  
                  LEVEL
                  LEVEL_1     LEVEL_2     LEVEL_3
CAR
------------------------------------------------------
ALFA ROMEO            0           0           3
AUDI                  0           0           1
BMW                   0           0           6
DATSUN                0           0           1


Regards,
Dave
