Hello all,

I did my research on FocalPoint and read Mickey Grackin's WebFOCUS HTML and PDF Report Design part and part 2. These two documents helped my a lot.

My PDF report has six columns, I can change the column sizes on five of them but the sixth column (CAMP) just would not response to whatever I did. Please review my code and let me know what you think:

DEFINE FILE HOLD
NAME_FTPT/A30 = NAME || (' ' | FTPT);
END
TABLE FILE HOLD
PRINT
NAME_FTPT AS 'Instructor''s Name'
PROG AS 'Program'
NEW_CRSE2 AS 'Courses Taught (D)Development (T)Transfer (N)Non-Transfer'
NEW_DEGREE AS 'Degrees'
NEW_DSPQUAL AS 'Other Related Qualifications - Work Experience/Licensure/Certification'
CAMP AS 'Campus'
BY &SELECT_SORT NOPRINT
HEADING
"FACULTY CREDENTIAL REPORT"
"Term: <+0>&PARM_TERM_CODE<+0> "
FOOTING
"Submitted by: <+0>&IBIMR_user"
"Date: <+0>&DATEtMDYY<+0> <+0> "
ON TABLE SET PAGE-NUM OFF
ON TABLE NOTOTAL
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT &WFFMT.(,,,,,).Select type of display output.
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
UNITS=IN,
GRID=ON,
RIGHTGAP=0,
ORIENTATION=LANDSCAPE,
$
TYPE=REPORT, COLUMN=NAME_FTPT , WRAP=1,$
TYPE=REPORT, COLUMN=PROG , WRAP=1.30,$

Thanks.

How big is the Field? are you trying to make it smaller then the size?

It seems to work for me. I used your code by adding the creation of the HOLD file:

-SET &ECHO=ALL;

SET ASNAMES=ON
SET HOLDLIST=PRINTONLY
SET HOLDFORMAT=ALPHA


TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT
COUNTRY AS NAME
CAR AS FTPT
MODEL AS PROG
BODYTYPE AS CAMP
WARRANTY AS NEW_DSPQUAL
STANDARD AS NEW_DEGREE
DEALER_COST AS NEW_CRSE2
ON TABLE HOLD AS HOLD
END
-RUN

-DEFAULT &SELECT_SORT = 'NAME';
-DEFAULT &PARM_TERM_CODE = 'AAA';
-DEFAULT &WFFMT = 'PDF';

DEFINE FILE HOLD
NAME_FTPT/A30 = NAME || (' ' | FTPT);
END
TABLE FILE HOLD
PRINT
NAME_FTPT AS 'Instructor''s Name'
PROG AS 'Program'
NEW_CRSE2 AS 'Courses Taught (D)Development (T)Transfer (N)Non-Transfer'
NEW_DEGREE AS 'Degrees'
NEW_DSPQUAL AS 'Other Related Qualifications - Work Experience/Licensure/Certification'
CAMP AS 'Campus'

Thank you for your helpful and quick responses. I was able to make it to work.

Thanks,
Steven

if, by any chance, your sort field (which is a parm) was CAMP, then that would explain why you weren't getting displayed CAMP column styled. You would have had 2 fields named CAMP.
btw, good on ya for reading up before Pointing!

Susannah, yep, I forgot about that!

You could change all your column styling to this to affect all instances of the column:

TYPE=REPORT, COLUMN=CAMP(*) , WRAP=.5, COLOR=BLUE, $

This has happened to me so often that this was the first thing I thought was the issue. This is a real easy thing to get tripped up on. Susannah and Francis got it covered as far as resolving the issue. You could also use column notation COLUMN=P6 instead of referencing CAMP. I believe this will work as well.

I'm glad the articles I wrote helped you a lot.

Bonjour,

I went to IBI documentations on line and got such a number of answrers for the search Mickey Grackin's WebFOCUS HTML and PDF Report Design part and part 2. ( Without mentioning Mickey Grackin)
I grew nervous and began telling names, and then, I had the idea to turn outside, to the one and very Google.

I asked the same question ( Mentioning Mickey Grackin, this time) and I got the article.
I can even see your snapshot, Mickey

So, I turn on reading.
But what I'm expecting, is like Francis Mariani in around 2006 : A FocStyle Syntax that would lead HTML, PDF and EXCEL as well.
This time, I wish Column Titles to follow the width calculated by Focus for Column Data. And Wrap Column Titles as necessary.
Another dream is that _ should be considered as blanks in column Titles and help Wrap 'cleverly'
Cordially and Focusely
( And thanks to Google the Great )
