Hi,

I am trying to display value of a variable in my report at the heading section with report output in PDF format . The value in the string is of larger length (about 750).What happens is only partial value is getting displyed, the remaing is getting truncated. Is it possible to wrap the value in a variable?


Please try with this code

-SET &VAL='WebFOCUS Developer Studio provides an integrated development environment and GUI tools for quickly building ';
TABLE FILE CAR
HEADING
"&VAL"

PRINT *
ON TABLE SET ONLINE-FMT PDF
END

Thanks,
Sridevi


Thanks & Regards,

Quick and dirty method as I do not believe that there is a wrap styling available in the heading. Just change the &Trim value to the length you want it to be. Note that I have not included niceties such as word preservation (e.g. breaking at a space) - as I said it is a quick and dirty method. However it will provide you with an example to build upon -

-SET &VAL='WebFOCUS Developer Studio provides an integrated development environment and 
GUI tools for quickly building ';
-SET &Len = 1;
-SET &Trim = 38;
-SET &TrimLen = &Trim;

TABLE FILE CAR
HEADING
-REPEAT :Loop WHILE &Len LT &VAL.LENGTH;
-SET &Heading = SUBSTR(&VAL.LENGTH, '&VAL.EVAL', &Len, &TrimLen, &Trim, 'A&Trim.EVAL');
-SET &Len = &Len + &Trim;
-SET &TrimLen = IF &Len + &Trim LE &VAL.LENGTH THEN &Len + &Trim ELSE &VAL.LENGTH;
"&Heading.EVAL"
-:Loop
PRINT *
ON TABLE SET ONLINE-FMT PDF
END

another option:

-SET &VAL='WebFOCUS Developer Studio provides an integrated development environment and GUI tools for quickly building ';
DEFINE FILE CAR
OINKOINK/A256='&VAL';
END
TABLE FILE CAR
HEADING
" <OINKOINK "
PRINT CAR
ON TABLE SET ONLINE-FMT PDF
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
TYPE=HEADING,LINE=1,OBJECT=FIELD,WRAP=2.0,$
ENDSTYLE
END

Thanks for the solution.
Both worked out well. The second one is much simpler.

Thanks Tony and RickW
