I'm sure I've encountered this before, but I can't come up with a solution. I'm using WRAP to make a column narrower. The Column Title gets truncated with an exclamation mark - I thought that the colmn title would wrap, just like the data.

Example:

TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT
MODEL AS 'THIS IS A MODEL'

ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT PDF

ON TABLE SET STYLE *
TYPE=REPORT, SQUEEZE=ON,
FONT='ARIAL', SIZE=9,
BORDER=1, BORDER-COLOR=SILVER,
$

TYPE=TITLE, STYLE=BOLD, $

TYPE=REPORT, COLUMN=MODEL, WRAP=0.5, $
ENDSTYLE
END

One solution would be to use commas in the column title (This,is a,model) but because I use borders, borders appear between each column title line.

Well, borders do not appear between each line of the column title in this example, but in my real-world report they do, because of the background colour.

TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT
MODEL AS 'THIS,IS A,MODEL'

ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT PDF

ON TABLE SET STYLE *
TYPE=REPORT, FONT=HELVETICA, SIZE=7,
  BORDER=LIGHT, BORDER-COLOR=GREY,
  TOPGAP=0.02,
  BOTTOMGAP=0.02,
  LEFTGAP=0.06,
  RIGHTGAP=0.06,
  $

TYPE=TITLE,
  STYLE=BOLD,
  COLOR='WHITE',
  BACKCOLOR=RGB(8 94 129),
  $

TYPE=REPORT, COLUMN=MODEL, WRAP=0.5, $
ENDSTYLE
END

Interestingly, at 300% the PDF shows no lines between the title lines...

Francis,

I tried several options and was unable to get the desired result. I think you may need to seek professional help on this one. Cool

I concur with Norb. It happens without aliases too...

I'm on a working vacation, far from a printer but I'll assume that it's a rendering issue and when printed, the lines will not appear.

Cheers.

You may be far from a printer but I'm seeing the same subtle striping on the chipmunk's back as well. Are you certain it's not JUST YOU! Big Grin

Have a great working vacation,

I stumbled upon this post again, the solution is quite simple. If you haven't figured it out by now, just add a comma into the column alias i.e.
MODEL AS 'THIS,IS A,4 LINE,MODEL'
to get:
THIS
IS A
4 LINE
MODEL
Thanks to Susannah

J, thanks for your feedback. I am aware of the solution, but I was unsure of using it as, in some version of Adobe PDF Reader, I saw dark grey lines between the individual lines of the column title and was afraid they would print.

Cheers,


Francis
