I am trying to center my heading within a PDF. The widest heading is centered, but the other lines have the heading right justified, aligned with the widest heading. Is the and additional command to center within the colspan?

TYPE=HEADING, HEADALIGN=BODY,$
TYPE=HEADING, OBJECT=FIELD, ITEM=1, COLSPAN=2, JUSTIFY=LEFT, STYLE=NORMAL, SIZE=6,$
TYPE=HEADING, OBJECT=FIELD, ITEM=2, COLSPAN=10, JUSTIFY=CENTER, BORDER-RIGHT=LIGHT,$
TYPE=HEADING, OBJECT=FIELD, ITEM=3, COLSPAN=4, JUSTIFY=LEFT, STYLE=NORMAL, SIZE=10,$

I originally was using the below code.

TYPE=HEADING, LINE=1,OBJECT=FIELD, ITEM=1, COLSPAN=2, JUSTIFY=LEFT, STYLE=NORMAL, SIZE=6,$
TYPE=HEADING, LINE=1,OBJECT=FIELD, ITEM=2, COLSPAN=10, JUSTIFY=CENTER, BORDER-RIGHT=LIGHT,$
TYPE=HEADING, LINE=1,OBJECT=FIELD, ITEM=3, COLSPAN=4, JUSTIFY=LEFT, STYLE=NORMAL, SIZE=10,$

TYPE=HEADING, LINE=2,OBJECT=FIELD, ITEM=1, COLSPAN=2, JUSTIFY=LEFT, STYLE=NORMAL, SIZE=6,$
TYPE=HEADING, LINE=2,OBJECT=FIELD, ITEM=2, COLSPAN=10, JUSTIFY=CENTER, BORDER-RIGHT=LIGHT,$
TYPE=HEADING, LINE=2,OBJECT=FIELD, ITEM=3, COLSPAN=4, JUSTIFY=LEFT, STYLE=NORMAL, SIZE=10,$

TYPE=HEADING, LINE=3,OBJECT=FIELD, ITEM=1, COLSPAN=2, JUSTIFY=LEFT, STYLE=NORMAL, SIZE=6,$
TYPE=HEADING, LINE=3,OBJECT=FIELD, ITEM=2, COLSPAN=10, JUSTIFY=CENTER, BORDER-RIGHT=LIGHT,$
TYPE=HEADING, LINE=3,OBJECT=FIELD, ITEM=3, COLSPAN=4, JUSTIFY=LEFT, STYLE=NORMAL, SIZE=10,$

Jay, please provide the lines of code for the heading... this might help determine the issue.

Sample program. I see the problem but don't know why it's happening. Behaves the same way in v7.7.05.

SET PAGE=NOPAGE

DEFINE FILE EMPLOYEE
IB_BLANK/A1 = '';
END

TABLE FILE EMPLOYEE
PRINT 
EMP_ID
HIRE_DATE

LAST_NAME
FIRST_NAME
CURR_SAL
CURR_JOBCODE
ED_HRS
BANK_NAME
BANK_CODE
BANK_ACCT
PCT_INC
SALARY

SEC_CLEAR
SKILLS
SKILL_DESC

BY DEPARTMENT NOPRINT
BY BANK_NAME NOPRINT

BY JOB_DESC NOPRINT
BY JOBCODE NOPRINT

BY EFFECT_DATE NOPRINT
BY DAT_INC NOPRINT

BY LAST_NAME NOPRINT
BY FIRST_NAME NOPRINT

HEADING
"<DEPARTMENT<JOB_DESC<BANK_NAME"
"<IB_BLANK<DEPARTMENT<JOBCODE"
"<IB_BLANK<EFFECT_DATE<DAT_INC"

ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT PDF

ON TABLE SET STYLE *
TYPE=REPORT, 
    FONT=Arial, SIZE=7, SQUEEZE=ON, PAGESIZE=LEGAL, ORIENTATION=LANDSCAPE, 
    UNITS=IN,LEFTMARGIN=0.25,RIGHTMARGIN=0.25,TOPMARGIN=0.25,BOTTOMMARGIN=0.25,
$

TYPE=HEADING, HEADALIGN=BODY,$
TYPE=HEADING, OBJECT=FIELD, ITEM=1, COLSPAN=2, JUSTIFY=LEFT, STYLE=NORMAL, SIZE=6, BORDER-RIGHT=LIGHT, COLOR=RED, $
TYPE=HEADING, OBJECT=FIELD, ITEM=2, COLSPAN=10, JUSTIFY=CENTER, BORDER-RIGHT=LIGHT, COLOR=BLUE, $
TYPE=HEADING, OBJECT=FIELD, ITEM=3, COLSPAN=4, JUSTIFY=LEFT, STYLE=NORMAL, SIZE=10, COLOR=GREEN, $
ENDSTYLE
END

Thank You for your time. I have submitted a case to support.

Hi Jay,

I am also facing the similar problem.

Did you get any solution from IBI case? Can you please post the Case number?

Thanks,

No there wasn't a solution. Fortunately I was rewriting a report originally done in another language and I found out that language had the same problem. So the heading was a little off, but looked just lie the original report.
