Is there a way to remove the blank line displays between report heading and report data in Excel Compound report ?

with this command its not working "ONLINE-FMT"

 TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT
COUNTRY CAR SEATS
WHERE RECORDLIMIT EQ 3
HEADING CENTER
"CAR REPORT1"
-*ON TABLE SET ONLINE-FMT EXL07 OPEN NOBREAK
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT EXL07 OPEN NOBREAK
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
TYPE=TITLE, BORDER=LIGHT,BORDER-COLOR=WHITE,$
END


TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT
COUNTRY CAR MODEL 
WHERE RECORDLIMIT EQ 4
HEADING CENTER
"CAR REPORT2"
-*ON TABLE SET ONLINE-FMT EXL07 NOBREAK
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT EXL07 NOBREAK
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
TYPE=TITLE, BORDER=LIGHT,BORDER-COLOR=WHITE,$
END


TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT
COUNTRY CAR BODYTYPE
WHERE RECORDLIMIT EQ 4
HEADING CENTER
"CAR REPORT3
-*ON TABLE SET ONLINE-FMT EXL07 CLOSE
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT EXL07 CLOSE
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
TYPE=TITLE, BORDER=LIGHT,BORDER-COLOR=WHITE,$
END

This will is work only for positioned formats such as PDF, PS, DHTML, and PPT not in excel

Looks like you better open a case with techsupport to get an answer to this..

Hi All, as per the information available over various earlier posts for similar issue and per the IBI documentation, the DROPBLNKLINE is not applicable to EXCEL format and there seems no straight forward way to achieve the same. As soon as we apply border to the DATA/REPORT, the blank line between HEADER and TITLE appears automatically. However, I have generated a workaround that meets the requirement. I have done the PoC on only three columns and anyone can extend the same as per the real time requirement.

Guys, again this is perhaps my first reply over the WebFOCUS community so I'd be more that glad to receive your positive up-votes and feedback. These would help me keep energetic for more replies
