I'm trying to use spot marker in my pdf report but it not working.
In the given example, the heading has to split has 3 columns and each column has to be in different color(green, red, gray). But it is giving everything has green color.

Note: This code works fine in HTML.


Eg:
TABLE FILE GGSALES
SUM UNITS DOLLARS
BY CATEGORY
BY PRODUCT
HEADING
"FIRST QUARTER <+0>SALES <+0>REPORT"
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT PDF
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
TYPE=HEADING,OBJECT=TEXT,ITEM=1,FONT=ARIAL,BACKCOLOR=GREEN,$
TYPE=HEADING,OBJECT=TEXT,ITEM=2,SIZE=14,BACKCOLOR=RED,$
TYPE=HEADING,OBJECT=TEXT,ITEM=3,STYLE=BOLD,BACKCOLOR=GRAY,$
ENDSTYLE
END

That will only work in HTML. Try using
<+n or <-n to align in PDF.

<+n or <-n used as to find the starting position of the character but I want to make some text as bold and some text to give backcolor.

That particular method you were using works in Subhead...if you somehow could use that.

Try adding line=1 to each of the lines. Like this:

TYPE=HEADING,OBJECT=TEXT,LINE=1,ITEM=1,FONT=ARIAL,BACKCOLOR=GREEN,$

If this works, it will only affect the page heading, of course - not the data.

BACKCOLOR for a segment of a HEADING line will not work in PDF.

You may have noticed that FONT, COLOR and some other styling does work, BACKCOLOR does not.

Maybe the next release...

No, it's not working for anything. I dont need Backcolor in my report, just gave that to identify the column difference as an example.

This illustrates that some styling does work:

TABLE FILE GGSALES
SUM UNITS DOLLARS
BY CATEGORY
BY PRODUCT
HEADING
"FIRST QUARTER <+0>SALES <+0>REPORT"
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT PDF
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
TYPE=HEADING,LINE=1,OBJECT=TEXT,ITEM=1,FONT=ARIAL,SIZE=20,COLOR=GREEN,$
TYPE=HEADING,LINE=1,OBJECT=TEXT,ITEM=2,FONT=TIMES,SIZE=15,COLOR=RED,$
TYPE=HEADING,LINE=1,OBJECT=TEXT,ITEM=3,SIZE=30,STYLE=BOLD,COLOR=BLUE,$
ENDSTYLE
END
