The report output is EXL2K. Here is part of the code:

quote:

ON TABLE SUBHEAD
"Performance Summary <+0>Ending Period < MONTH_END"
...
TYPE=TABHEADING, HEADALIGN=BODY,$

TYPE=TABHEADING, LINE=1, ITEM=1, SIZE=10, COLSPAN=2, JUSTIFY=LEFT, STYLE=BOLD, $
TYPE=TABHEADING, LINE=1, ITEM=2, SIZE=11, COLSPAN=10, STYLE=BOLD+ITALIC, JUSTIFY=RIGHT, $


MONTH_END is a field value ('March 31, 2014').

Because text ITEM 1 and ITEM 2 has different format, and opposite JUSTIFY, I have to use HEADALIGN=BODY to separate them into 2 cells. However, < MONTH_END is then displayed in a 3rd cell of the heading row. Is it possible to make the text 'Ending Period ' and < MONTH_END in the same cell?

Thanks!

ON TABLE SUBHEAD
"Performance Summary <+0>Ending Period <MONTH_END"

Create a COMPUTEd field that contains the text and the field:

COMPUTE MONTH_END_TXT/A40 = 'Ending Period ' | MONTH_END; NOPRINT
...
ON TABLE SUBHEAD
"Performance Summary <MONTH_END_TXT"

If MONTH_END is a date or date/time field, you'll have to use a date or date/time function to convert it to alpha...

or FPRINT function, which takes anything numeric and converts it, complete with all its $ and , and whatever.
so you could concat your text string to an FPRINT of something.
very pretty.
FPRINT works as low as 768

It is over 10years since that post and your solution. And your workaround helped me today! Thanks!
