Is there syntax that combines the formatting of columns in the stylesheet?

 $
TYPE=DATA,
     COLUMN=N4,
     BACKCOLOR=( RGB(204 255 255) RGB(204 255 204) RGB(255 255 153) RGB(255 204 153) ),
$
TYPE=DATA,
     COLUMN=N5,
     BACKCOLOR=( RGB(204 255 255) RGB(204 255 204) RGB(255 255 153) RGB(255 204 153) ),
$ 

 $
-*Things I have tried
TYPE=DATA,
   -*  COLUMN=N4,N5,
   -*  COLUMN=(N4 N5),
   -*  COLUMN=(N4, N5),
     BACKCOLOR=( RGB(204 255 255) RGB(204 255 204) RGB(255 255 153) RGB(255 204 153) ),
$

I am trying to shorten up my code to make
it more readable.

Unless you want to apply the formatting to all columns in the report the column-by-column approach would be the way to go.

If you want to apply the backcolor across all columns then

TYPE=DATE,
BACKCOLOR=( RGB(204 255 255) RGB(204 255 204) RGB(255 255 153) RGB(255 204 153) ),
$

As Jax mentions (and I assume he meant TYPE=DATA, not TYPE=DATE) if you don't specify a column, then by default, the style is applied to all columns. Sometimes it's shorter to do this and then single out the columns where you DON't want the style when you have numberous column that are affected.

Thanks for the information.
In a report I am working on 3 columns need to be formated one way and 2 columns another way.
I thought there might be a way to format the columns without having having to go column-by-column.
But, there isn't.

Max,

A bit of Dialog Manager can help:

  
-REPEAT #LAB1 FOR &I FROM 4 TO 6;
TYPE=DATA,
     COLUMN=N&I,
     BACKCOLOR=( RGB(204 255 255) RGB(204 255 204) RGB(255 255 153) RGB(255 204 153) ),
$
-#LAB
