I have a BY FIELD which is a variable like this.
  
BY  &RP_FN01B_Sort1.(BY(<District,DIM_DISTRICT.DISTRICT_ID>,<City,DIM_CITY.CITY_DESCR>,<Month,SALE_MONTH>)).Please select sort field(s).


When i run the report i am getting Sort field column headings as
DISTRICT_ID CITY_DESCRIPTION SALE_MONTH
but instead i want to get headings like
District City Month.
I cannot give AS NAMES here as sort by fields are in a variable.
Can't make changes in master file as well.

Any idea to implement this.?

I'm afraid the best solution is to set the TITLE value in the master files.

Not very practical but what if you had a DEFINE for each one of the columns that has the title as the fieldname?

 
DEFINE FILE XYZ
District/A10=DIM_DISTRICT.DISTRICT_ID;
City/A50=DIM_CITY.CITY_DESCR;
Month/HM=SALE_MONTH;
END

Then use these defined fields in your BY like this:

BY  &RP_FN01B_Sort1.(BY(<District>,<City>,<Month>)).Please select sort field(s).

It'll only work if you don't have spaces or special characters in them though.
