We have a issue with upgrading to V7.7.05.

We have a block of text displayed in a PDF report that uses MARKUP and the full justification tags.

In 7.6.6 this works, in 7.7.05 the justification does not quite work on the SUBFOOT.
The block moves to the left of the page.

Just wondering if anyone else has had this issue.

This code replicated the issue.

Waz,

Similar in WF8 - I would call it in.

The "full" tags do not seem to be honoured either. Using "wrap" at subhead level helps a little.

The BR tags also appear to help things to go wrong, try using HEXBYT(13,'A1') instead with LINEBREAK=CR at report level.

That gives a reasonable output but without full justification.

T

PRINTPLUS = ON is one of my favorite commands when using PDF. You have to understand how it works with PDFs and I'm not sure it will do anything with the MARKUP override. With those caveats, I thought I would throw it in as it can clean up some pesky things.

Confirmed that this issue exists in 8.09 but works correctly in 7.6.11.

The problem seems to be the sylesheet setting for the leftmargin affecting the MARKUP text field.

The STYLESHEET LEFTMARGIN=2.1 is respected on the first line of text for the defined field (line 2 of the subfoot) but the subsequent lines appear in the leftmost postion on the page.

The same behavior occurs if used in the subheading, heading, etc. The problem seems to be related to the Stylesheet MARKUP tag. If I repalce the MARKUP tag with WRAP=15.5, all of the text aligns properly with the set leftmargin. Of course it loses the MARKUP capabilities.

I also tried removing all MARKUP codes from the text and the same loss of margin occurs.

Kevin, the PRINTPLUS on or off has no impact.

This is indeed a bug.

Thanks Guys,

Case submitted.

I'll see about the other options without full justification.

Hi Waz,

While we wait to see if another customer can help with this issue, please keep us posted on the final solution from your case. Thank you in advance for sharing with all.

Regards,

Kathryn
