I am very experienced with WebFOCUS and Dev Studio but am pretty new to the Precision Reporting Tool. I have made a simple example from the EMPDATA table.

What I would like to do in the example is center the TEST1 in the heading [I've colored it yellow) and TEST2 in the footing [I colored this yellow too). No matter what I've tried, it stays left justified. I need it centered. Has anyone done this before? Thanks for your help.

For some reason I had to replace the left carats with "left carat:" so if you want to run this you will need to make them a <

Well, if you comment out a bunch of stuff and just looking at the basics, this does center test1 in the heading for a pdf. This is a brief extract.

HEADING
"FOOTING
"Corporate Trust Services"
"www.someplace.com/cdo"
"left carat: TEST2"
"Page"
"left carat: TABPAGENO"
"of"
"left carat: TABLASTPAGE"
"left carat: TEST3"

ON TABLE SUBFOOT
""
ON TABLE SET PAGE-NUM NOLEAD
-*ON TABLE SET NEWLAYOUT ON
-*ON TABLE SET COMPOSITION DEFAULT
-*ON TABLE NOTOTAL
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT PDF
-*ON TABLE SET HTMLCSS ON
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
TYPE=HEADING,
JUSTIFY=CENTER,$
ENDSTYLE
END

When I ran just that part, the title test1 centers. That should get you started.

Hi Vivian,
Thank you for your suggestion but it's not what I am trying to do. I created the sample using EMPDATA so people can run it and see wwhat I need done. I don't need the whole footing centered. I just need pieces of it centered. Please run the report and see what it looks like.

I have already tried report painter. Setting grids on will work... but the footing is not far enough down the page. I need it at the bottom. This is not the exact report. The exact report also puts a line across the page directly above the footing.

I can get very close with a precision report and with layout composer but both have the same problem with centering just a piece of the footing.
