If I run the following code, the output gives me a blank line next to the subhead text. I dont need the blank line. Is there any way I can avoid that. If I make Squeeze=ON then I wont get that line but that will affect other part of my program. So, I dont want to set SQUEEZE=ON.

TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT CAR AS ''
MODEL AS ''
BODYTYPE AS ''
DEALER_COST AS ''
WHERE COUNTRY EQ 'ENGLAND' OR 'JAPAN' OR 'ITALY'
BY COUNTRY NOPRINT
ON COUNTRY SUBHEAD
"LIST OF CARS BASED ON COUNTRY"
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT HTML
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
UNITS=IN, PAGESIZE='Letter', SQUEEZE=OFF,ORIENTATION=PORTRAIT, GRID=OFF,$
TYPE=REPORT, GRID=OFF, STYLE=NORMAL, FONT='ARIAL', SIZE=8,
BACKCOLOR=NONE,$
TYPE=DATA,FONT='ARIAL',SIZE=8,COLOR=BLACK,STYLE=NORMAL,$
TYPE=SUBHEAD,FONT='ARIAL',SIZE=8,COLOR=BLACK,STYLE=NORMAL,$
TYPE=SUBHEAD,LINE=1,BACKCOLOR=GRAY,$
ENDSTYLE
END
-EXIT

I added the following line to the code and the blank line went away. Does this work for you?

ON TABLE SET HTMLCSS ON

Yes it works but it breaks my other formatting.

Remove the SQUEEZE=OFF from your stylesheet to fix the problem. I would report this to IBI. I tried this with WebFOCUS 7.1 and the problem reproduces in this version.

If we remove the SQUEEZE=OFF, by default Webfocus takes SQUEEZE=ON. That spoils my other formatting. Mine is the complex compound report.

Is your output actually HTML or is PDF? The reason I ask this is because you said your doing a compound report.

both

Let me guess you are trying to use the same style sheet for both reports.

No, I'm using different stylesheet for both format.

If I specify SQUEEZE=ON, by default it aligns the data with the highest length of the data based on browser settings. In my subhead, I'm giving some hardspaces to align the value with the data. But when the data starting position varies, it's not matching with subhead value. Is there anyway we can change the starting position of subhead value based on data.

FYI,

found the solution. Headalign=Body with Colspan does the magic.
