I am currently using the following style syntax to alternate the back color in my report.

TYPE=DATA,
BACKCOLOR=( 'WHITE' RGB(231 231 231) ),

This works great except for when a column wraps. The top portion is one color and the bottom or wrapped portion is the other color. The desired effect is the have the both parts of the wrapped item be the same color since its the same row.

How do i do this?

ON TABLE SET EMPTYREPORT ON
ON TABLE SET HTMLENCODE ON
ON TABLE SET AUTOFIT OFF
ON TABLE SET PAGE-NUM NOLEAD
ON TABLE NOTOTAL
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT PDF
ON TABLE SET CACHELINES 100
ON TABLE SET HTMLCSS ON
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
$
TYPE=DATA,
     BACKCOLOR=( 'WHITE' RGB(231 231 231) ),
$
TYPE=REPORT,
     COLUMN=N1,
     WRAP=0.527778,
$
TYPE=REPORT,
     COLUMN=N2,
     WRAP=0.638889,

And when I run that code it works as intended. I'll have to compare some table settings.

I am at a loss for why this is working like this.

Are you using a Stylesheet? Maybe there's something in that file that's changing the behavior. Try the code without any sty and see if your problem is in the fex or the sty.

Only styling is the report itself. When I commented out all styling except for wrapping and back color it works fine. As I went through weird things like adding a bottom border to the title or to a sub footer caused it to break. Seems like a bug I'm putting in a case to ibi.

I just wanted to provide some closure on this item.

Tech support indicated this is a known issue (from 2012!) where borders breaks the alternate line color wrapping. They linked me to the "old" way of alternating colors which worked fine.
