This is going to be hard to describe, but I'll do my best.

Is there any way to have two components on a report header line, with the first component be aligned to the left, and the second component be aligned to the right. Something like:

|             Title             |
|Date: 01/01/2007       By: User|
|                               |


Essentially, I want the "By: User" text to hug the right side of the page, while the "Date" hugs the left.

Thanks,

Chris Shaffer

And if it's not too much to ask, I'd like it to work in both HTML output and PDF.

Too much to ask, probably can't do. Have you tried using spot markers to place the text. Would have to ensure no squeezing I'd suppose.
  
"Date: 01/01/2007 <50> By: User"

or

"Date: 01/01/2007 <+50> By: User"

Crude, but does the job, mostly. (In PDF, the right justified component is not exactly justified to the last report column).

TABLE FILE CAR
SUM
SALES
BY COUNTRY
BY CAR
BY MODEL

HEADING
"WebFOCUS Report"
"User: &IBIC_user <+0> Date: &YYMD"
" "

ON TABLE SET PAGE NOPAGE

ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT PDF

ON TABLE SET STYLESHEET *
TYPE=REPORT, FONT='Arial', SIZE=8, GRID=OFF, $

TYPE=HEADING, HEADALIGN=BODY, STYLE=BOLD, $
TYPE=HEADING, LINE=1, COLSPAN=99, JUSTIFY=CENTER, $
TYPE=HEADING, LINE=2, ITEM=2, COLSPAN=99, JUSTIFY=RIGHT, POSITION=P4, COLOR=BLUE, $
END


The HEADALIGN is valid in HTML but ignored in PDF.
The COLSPAN is valid in HTML but ignored in PDF.
The POSITION is ignored in HTML but valid in PDF.
The COLOR is to simply highlight the affected component.

Francis,

Thanks. It looks good in HTML, but the PDF isn't quite what I was looking for. Thanks for the info, though.

In PDF, the centering and right justification of heading elements is based on the width of the paper, not the total width of the report columns.

I think.

If you are using 7.x and developer studio you can right mouse on the heading and turn on the alignment grid. Then you can add columns/rows and justify how you want.

Hope this helps
