Does anyone know a way to indent lines in an EXL07 format report. I need to indent 3 blank spaces for certain lines. See example below.

Apples
   Granny
   Red Delicious
   Green

-SET &INDENT_LABEL1         = CTRAN(16,'   Red Delicious', 32,13,'A16');

 

The SHOWBALNK=ON does not work and neither does the above CTRAN example


Thanks

Hi Michele,

Does it have to be EXL07? If you change it to EXL2K you might find that it works. I think mainly because of the "textual" format of the output from WF rather than the binary in which Excel will(?) always strip out extraneous spaces.

DEFINE FILE CAR
  D_MODEL/A70 = CTRAN(3,'...',46,13,'A3')|MODEL;
END
TABLE FILE CAR
   BY COUNTRY
   BY CAR
   BY D_MODEL
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT EXL2K
ON TABLE SET HTMLCSS ON
ON TABLE SET LINES 999999
ON TABLE SET PAGE NOLEAD
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
ENDSTYLE
END
-RUN

It's SHOWBLANKS, works for me...

  
SET SHOWBLANKS = ON
DEFINE FILE CAR
  CATEGORY/A20 = '    ' | CAR;
END
TABLE FILE CAR
SUM
    RETAIL_COST 
	DEALER_COST
   BY COUNTRY
   BY CATEGORY
 ON TABLE HOLD AS HOLD2
END
-RUN

DEFINE FILE HOLD2
  TOT1/P13C = RETAIL_COST;
  TOT2/P13C = DEALER_COST;
END
TABLE FILE HOLD2
SUM
    TOT1 NOPRINT 
	TOT2 NOPRINT
  BY COUNTRY NOPRINT
SUM
    RETAIL_COST 
    DEALER_COST 
  BY COUNTRY NOPRINT
  BY CATEGORY AS 'CATEGORY'
ON COUNTRY SUBHEAD
"<COUNTRY<TOT1<TOT2"
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT EXL07
ON TABLE SET HTMLCSS ON
ON TABLE SET LINES 999999
ON TABLE SET PAGE NOLEAD
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
TYPE=SUBHEAD, HEADALIGN=BODY, STYLE=BOLD,$
TYPE=TITLE, STYLE=BOLD,$
ENDSTYLE
END
-RUN
-EXIT

hi Michele,

Tried with DM, still, couldn't get it to work to have spaces in the beginning. But, it'll leave spaces b/w the datas.

-SET &XLDOTS='.';
-SET &XLSP=CTRAN(1,&XLDOTS,46,13,'A1');

Another method, which I followed for page numbers.

SET SHOWBLANKS = ON
DEFINE FILE CAR
MAX_PADDING/A30 = '@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@';
INSTRLEN/I5 = ARGLEN(24, MODEL,INSTRLEN);
DES/D12 = IF INSTRLEN EQ 3 THEN 1 ELSE IF INSTRLEN EQ 9 THEN 2 ELSE IF INSTRLEN EQ 11 THEN 3 ELSE IF INSTRLEN EQ 16 THEN 4 ELSE 7;
PADDING/A30= SUBSTR(30, MAX_PADDING, 1, DES, DES, PADDING);
PADDED_VALUE/A100 = PADDING || MODEL;
IND_VALUE/A100 = STRREP (100, PADDED_VALUE, 1, '@',1,' ',100, IND_VALUE);
END

TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT
MODEL
INSTRLEN
DES
PADDING
PADDED_VALUE
IND_VALUE
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT EXL07
END
