Positioning text in PDF
Hi,

The following code in WF 532 places the text at the cordinates specified in position i.e 6.0 3.0
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT CAR RCOST SEATS
FOOTING
"Footing Text"
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT PDF
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
TYPE=FOOTING, POSITION=(6.0 3.0), $
ENDSTYLE
END

However in 71 it ignores the position co ordinates and starts from the bottom of the report. Is there a way I can specify the position to be any place on the report layout for the text?

TIA
M

Mickey, What version of 71 are you using.

Tested it on 713 production and it is fine on a windows server.

JG,

The version we have is 711. I just learned from my colleague that we did have few other issues with 711 and IBI suggested an upgrade to 713. I guess the upgrade would solve this one too.

Thanks for your help.
