Hi All,



I would like to know, how Column3 can be displayed above Column4 and Column5.

To be precise, Column4 and Column5 comes under Column3 category, so it has to be displayed as shown in above pic.

Column4 and Column5 are aliases for the fields.

Could you all share your suggestions on how to do this.

Hi Vinay,

As shown in the Image If this is for EXCEL Format 0f the report, Please find the code below.

TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT
COUNTRY AS 'COUNTRY'
CAR AS 'CAR'
SEATS
RETAIL_COST
HEADING
"<+0>COUNTRY/CAR<+0>"
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT EXL2K
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
  UNITS=IN, SQUEEZE=ON, ORIENTATION=LANDSCAPE, $
  TYPE=REPORT, HEADALIGN=BODY, GRID=OFF, $
  TYPE=HEADING, LINE=1,  OBJECT=TEXT,     ITEM=1,     JUSTIFY=CENTER,   SIZE=10,  COLSPAN=2,STYLE=BOLD,$
END


This will work for HTML also.

But for PDF, you may need to do seperate stylig based on WIDTH of the heading elements.


Thanks,

Ramkumar.

Hi Ram,

The above code worked for one category, what if there are multiple categories like the below image.

I mean how column3 and column5 could be displayed?

END


This way you can add and Style any number of Heading Elements, and achieve Super Title/Sub Title format.

But If you are not going for Heading, It is very tough to achieve this.

You may go through This Thread for further more details.

You see if some of the suggestions given there helps you...


Thanks,

Ramkumar.

Hi Vinay,

For PDF you may need to do trial in Error in Width and acheive values...

Instead of COLSPAN=1, You need to assign width=3.50 , 4.50 etc. until you reach you exact template.
