lost my rightgap setting for my report

Hi All,

I have a pdf report with the following stylesheet settings for the report:

TYPE=REPORT,
FONT='TIMES',
SIZE=9,
SQUEEZE=ON,
STYLE=NORMAL,
RIGHTGAP=0.10000,
ORIENTATION=LANDSCAPE,
$

This was working fine until I added the following to alternate background colors on my detail lines:

TYPE=DATA, BACKCOLOR=( 'WHITE' RGB(231 231 231) ), $

With this line added, the rightgap setting seems to be ignored and my report is too wide because of the spacing between each column. Does anyone know how to get both of these features to work together?

Thanks
Jim

I would add the RIGHTGAP to the TYPE=DATA line.

I hope that's a typo in your posting and not in your fex! Smiler

Sorry, I guess RIGHTGAP only works at the report level.

Looks like the behaviour you're seeing is a bug. Frowner

Although I've never noticed this before, and I use LEFTGAP, RIGHTGAP and alternating colours in all my reports.

Jim,

Looks like you have a dyslexic keyboard like me! Wink

It may be of little comfort, but the following code to mimic your problem, works perfectly OK in 7.1.3 with acrobat 7.0, with no change in right gap with or without the colour styling line.

TABLE FILE CAR
SUM RCOST   AS 'Retail,Cost'
    DCOST   AS 'Dealer,Cost'
 BY COUNTRY AS 'Country'
 BY CAR     AS 'Car'
SUM RCOST   AS 'Retail,Cost'
    DCOST   AS 'Dealer,Cost'
 BY COUNTRY AS 'Country'
 BY CAR     AS 'Car'
 BY MODEL   AS 'Model'
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT PDF
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
TYPE=REPORT, UNITS=IN, FONT='TIMES', SIZE=9, SQUEEZE=ON, STYLE=NORMAL, ORIENTATION=PORTRAIT, RIGHTGAP=0.10000,
     BORDER-TOP=LIGHT, BORDER-LEFT=LIGHT, BORDER-RIGHT=LIGHT, BORDER-BOTTOM=LIGHT, $
TYPE=REPORT, COLUMN=COUNTRY, SQUEEZE=1.00, $
TYPE=REPORT, COLUMN=CAR, SQUEEZE=1.00, $
TYPE=REPORT, COLUMN=MODEL, SQUEEZE=1.50, $
TYPE=REPORT, COLUMN=RCOST(*), SQUEEZE=0.70, $
TYPE=REPORT, COLUMN=DCOST(*), SQUEEZE=0.70, $
TYPE=DATA, BACKCOLOR=('WHITE' RGB(231 231 231)), $
ENDSTYLE
END
-RUN


The question is, how does this code run on your installation? Does it demonstrate the problem you are experiencing?

This appears to work as expected on our 5.3.4 WF server.

Francis,

It might be because I tend to control the columns widths on PDF reports by using SQUEEZE or WRAP and ensuring that the combined width of all columns doesn't exceed the width available, rather than let WebFOCUS (or any other prog. language!) attempt to control it.
