I found a use for this feature. To my dismay it appears if I use this report type, I give up my ability to control column widths. I am in the GUI and no matter what settings I make (Max/Min/Truncate etc) the columns appear to use the longest value present to set the default column widths. As you go from page to page the report changes deminsions making for a messy looking presentation. Further, I'd like to pad a little space between my measure columms for better readiability.

Is there a way in the GUI to control the column width and if so how. Failing that, can it be done in the code? If so can someone provide an example.

Thanks!

"WRAP" seems to set the width of the column:

TABLE FILE CAR
SUM
SALES
SEATS
WIDTH
HEIGHT
BY COUNTRY
BY CAR
BY MODEL

ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT AHTML

ON TABLE SET STYLE *
TYPE=REPORT, COLUMN=MODEL, WRAP=10, $
ENDSTYLE
END

what I discovered is that varying the size of the box on the HTML page affects the width of certain columns no matter how they are set in the fex. I have not been able to determine how/why certain columns are made bigger or smaller vs others.

I tried the WRAP. I set all to wrap 1". It expanded 3 of 4 columns to best fit the HTML block I had drawn.

Now I created a new Active report with 7 columns. I can not stretch any of them. The report is essentially condencng everything right up against each other. Is there some sort of Page Width setting or something I need to make?
