I am having a logic where in I need to add leading spaces to the data, in few columns. To show some Hierarchial stuff difference.

The code above works fine with PDF format. Where in, Excel the spaces are not added to the data. How to go about this ?

ON TABLE SET SHOWBLANKS ON

Lovely! It works in HTML as well.

DEFINE FILE CAR
CTR/I2 WITH CAR = CTR + 1;
SPACES/A40 WITH CAR = '                              ';
CARNAME/A40 = OVRLAY(SPACES, 40, CAR, 20, CTR*2, CARNAME);
END
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT
   CARNAME
ON TABLE SET SHOWBLANKS ON
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT HTML
END


Arrrgh, I really needed something like this a while ago ... oh well, now I know better.

Thank you again Dan!
Good One
