Hello,

Can anyone help me to define the size of the border on a SUBHEAD field?

 

TABLE FILE CAR
SUM  SALES
RETAIL_COST
DEALER_COST
COMPUTE LUCRO/D8 = RETAIL_COST - DEALER_COST;
BY COUNTRY NOPRINT
BY MODEL
ON COUNTRY SUBHEAD 

"<COUNTRY"
ON COUNTRY SUBTOTAL
HEADING
"TEST SALES REPORT"
ON TABLE SET PAGE-NUM NOLEAD
ON TABLE COLUMN-TOTAL
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT PDF
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
TYPE=REPORT,
     FONT='ARIAL',
     SIZE=6,
     COLOR='BLACK',
     BACKCOLOR='NONE',
     STYLE=NORMAL,
	 WRAP=1,
$
TYPE=HEADING,

LINE=1,
SIZE=11,
STYLE=BOLD,
JUSTIFY=CENTER, $

TYPE=SUBHEAD,
BY=COUNTRY,
ITEM=1,
WRAP=1,
COLSPAN=1,
BORDER-BOTTOM=LIGHT,
BORDER-LEFT=LIGHT,
BORDER-RIGHT=LIGHT,
BORDER-TOP=LIGHT,
-*BACKCOLOR=RGB(192 192 192),
$

TYPE=SUBTOTAL,

This might help:

Creating Reports With Report Painter > Styling Reports With Report Painter > Aligning Fields and Text in Headings and Footings

quote:
You can use the ALIGN-BORDERS=BODY attribute in a StyleSheet to align the subheadings and subfootings with the report body on PDF report output instead of the other heading elements.


[TYPE=REPORT,] ALIGN-BORDERS={OFF|BODY} ,$

quote:

OFF - Does not align the right margin of subheadings and subfootings with the report body.

BODY - Specifies that the width of subheading and subfooting lines is independent of heading,
footing, tabheading, and tabfooting lines, and that the right border of the report body will
be aligned by either extending subheading and subfooting lines (if they are narrower than
the data columns) or extending the data columns (if the data columns are narrower than
the maximum width of subheadings and subfootings).

Ricardo, I played with the code a bit and I believe the PDF generator is buggy. It looks like there's no way to solve your issue.

Tech Support told me about ALIGN-BORDERS=BODY and that solved a problem in v8.0.08 that did not exist in v7.7.05.

Ok, thanks anyway Francis.

I 'solved' it using BORDERS on REPORT. It is pretty now.

Thanks again.

Add
TYPE=REPORT,
     SQUEEZE=ON,
$

Still not perfect (now it's the subtotal that s too large), but better.

Where does the column after LUCRO is coming from ? This is the reason why your subhead are so large, there is an "hidden" column...

It must be really hidden, as I cannot see it in the code. Smiler

Also think the same thing...

Maybe related with the COMPUTE where in the internal matrix there are some other fields ?...

I wish I could have borders only on SUBHEAD values, but using BORDERS ans SQUEEZE on REPORT solved my issue.

Thanks Francis and Martin.

Have a nice day!
