Hi,
I have a webfocus stylesheet that I'm applying to my report to get a basic look and feel. I also want to set the size of one of my columns, which I'm doing with the WRAP style attribute in the report. However, when I apply the WRAP style to my column I lose the formating in the style sheet... Is there a way I could get the basic look and feel from the webfocus style sheet and have the flexibility to set the sizes of my columns in my report? Thanks.

Below is a sample of my code for clarification purposes:

...
ON TABLE SET STYLESHEET portal
ON TABLE SET PAGE-NUM OFF
ON TABLE NOTOTAL
ON TABLE SET ONLINE-FMT HTML
ON TABLE SET HTMLCSS ON
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
$
TYPE=REPORT,
COLUMN=N2,
WRAP=5,
$
ENDSTYLE
.....

The line:
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
is the equivalent of:
ON TABLE SET STYLESHEET *

This line is probably overriding your initial style sheet, portal. Try eliminating this line from your code to get the results you want.

Hi Tim,

Thank you for your reply.
I tried removing ON TABLE SET STYLE *, but I get an error... my code now looks something like this:
...
ON TABLE SET STYLE portal
$
TYPE=REPORT,
COLUMN=N2,
WRAP=5,
$
TYPE=REPORT,
COLUMN=N1,
WRAP=2,
$
ENDSTYLE
...

Thanks for your help.

Another technique you can use is:

ON TABLE SET STYLE *
TYPE=REPORT, COLUMN=N2, WRAP=5, $
-INCLUDE portal2
ENDSTYLE

Where portal2 is a fex containing all the default styling. I have used this in the past. This way you can use the default styling to start and add custom changes like you need.

In fact, there's no way to set a stylesheet and then override it with inline styling.

The only way is to do what Tim J suggested - use a -INCLUDE.

I never use .STY stylesheets.

Alternatively use a combination of CSS and WebFOCUS style sheets.

I tend to use a standard style INCLUDE that references a standard CSS declared idurng initialisation.

I agreed totally with Tim and Francis.

In order to combine general style sheet and inline style we must include the general style inside a focexec and retrieve it using -INCLUDE.

ON TABLE SET STYLE *
-* Default application style (style1.fex)
-INCLUDE STYLE1
-* Other default style (stylen.fex)
-INCLUDE STYLEn

-* Particular report style inline.
-* overriding previous if duplicated...
TYPE=REPORT, COLUMN=N2, WRAP=5, $
ENDSTYLE

Thanks for the suggestions!
The include of the .fex file with the styles seems to work.

Thanks!
