The markers for rows are typed into the line command fields of the appropriate lines. The markers for columns are typed in a line bar that is provided across the top of the report.
To modify the width of the report, you can use the Page Width field. Changes to the page width are carried over to the Report Definition screen. The maximum width you can have for a report is 255 columns. The value given for page width is also used to justify the title rows.
You can also justify titles and headings using the Titles/Headings segment. This segment, as illustrated below, contains a display of the information currently in the rows defined as title and heading rows.
The heading elements that appear are determined from the report fields on the first row directly below the last defined heading row. For example, the following headings are assigned to the fields directly below them:
The column range is used to find headings for the report fields, on all heading rows. The range for the first report field on a row begins with the first column of a field on the row and ends with the position immediately before the next field. This range determination is repeated across the report for each report field, using the position immediately after the last report field as the starting point.
Each sub-section of the Titles/Headings screen can be scrolled vertically. You can justify your titles and headings using the
Justify fields by entering the following values:
Using the Link Headings To Fields field, you can determine whether your headings are always aligned with the fields associated with them. The default is Y (yes) for non-across reports and N (no) for across reports. For a particular Report Table Painter session, you can change this value, and at the end of the session it reverts to the default. If the heading is also a field and it is above two or more fields, the value is automatically set to N.
The following sections illustrate the behavior displayed when the Link Headings to Fields field is set to Y and the field
ID# is shifted right five spaces.
