Hi Saggy,
Underlines on columns are there by default. What exactly are you looking to do? Have you tried using Stylesheets to control this?
Cheers,

Although I cannot remember when, I think this same question has been asked before.
I would suggest doing a search of the forum

saggy, when you said underline a column, do you mean the title or the data ?

saggy, francis' code is probably what you want.
you need to flag the records to underline and use a stylesheet entry with a macro. (WHEN=).

Saggy,
do you need to draw one line in the same place on every page or does the line only show up after certain data rows?This message has been edited. Last edited by: mgrackin,

This "may" be what you are looking for, BUT, it is very tedious:
TABLE FILE CAR
SUM
RETAIL_COST AS 'Retail Cost'
DEALER_COST AS 'Dealer Cost'
COMPUTE XPCT/P6.2B% = (RETAIL_COST / DEALER_COST) * 100; AS '%'
SALES AS 'Sales'
BY COUNTRY AS 'Country'
ON TABLE SET PAGE-NUM OFF
ON TABLE NOTOTAL
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT PDF
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
UNITS=IN,
SQUEEZE=ON,
ORIENTATION=LANDSCAPE,
LEFTMARGIN = 0.550000,
RIGHTMARGIN = 0.250000,
TOPMARGIN = 0.35000000,
BOTTOMMARGIN= 0.55000000,
$
TYPE=REPORT,
GRID=OFF,
FONT='ARIAL',
SIZE=10,
$
-GOTO SKIP_LINES
TYPE=REPORT, NAME='TITLE_1', OBJECT=LINE, POSITION=(0.55 0.80), DIMENSION=(0.95 0.0), BORDER=1.0,$
TYPE=REPORT, NAME='TITLE_2', OBJECT=LINE, POSITION=(1.55 0.80), DIMENSION=(0.75 0.0), BORDER=1.0,$
TYPE=REPORT, NAME='TITLE_3', OBJECT=LINE, POSITION=(2.45 0.80), DIMENSION=(0.75 0.0), BORDER=1.0,$
TYPE=REPORT, NAME='TITLE_4', OBJECT=LINE, POSITION=(3.30 0.80), DIMENSION=(0.65 0.0), BORDER=1.0,$
TYPE=REPORT, NAME='TITLE_5', OBJECT=LINE, POSITION=(4.00 0.80), DIMENSION=(0.50 0.0), BORDER=1.0,$
TYPE=TITLE,STYLE=-UNDERLINE,$
-SKIP_LINES
ENDSTYLE
END
-RUN
Run the code the way it is, then, comment out GOTO SKIP_LINES and see the difference...
What Tom posted would be my suggestion if the lines are static.
Thanks!

The solution depends on what the report and data needs. As we don't know if the data is static or the lines are static or the data is dynamic, then at lease saggy has two options.
