Give me some weird spacing issues. What is going on? I want the city-state-zip on the same line like normal but it gives me lots of extra spaces.

RicharA, HTML is getting in the way and we cannot see your code. Please post your sample code using

tags.

I changed it with the code tags.

quote:

TYPE=HEADING,
WRAP=7,
$

You're making every element in your HEADING wrap to 7 inches, which may explain the spacing you're seeing.


Try using WRAP or WIDTH on an element-by-element basis instead of a "global" HEADING setting as it will give you more control.

...
TYPE=HEADING, OBJECT=FIELD, ITEM=1, WRAP=1.5, $
...

That works but how can I get the trailing spaces after the city and before the comma? The trim command only works if you know the resulting length. I get something that looks like this right now:

Philadelphia          , PA 19123

And if I use the strong concatenation operator (||) to put it in a variable of length 30, it ends up looking like this:

Philadelphia,      PA 19123

Try the Squeez function


PIR_CITY / A20 = 'Philadelphia'
SQCNAME/A20 = SQUEEZ(20, PIR_CITY, 'A20');

I think that will work. Thanks!
