Word Wrapping in PDF output

[LeonelSanchezJr]

I have too many columns in PDF, so they go on to the second page.

Is there a way I can simulate a "word wrap".
I.E.

First set of fields go on the first row.
Second set of fields go on the second row.


Thanks,

Leo ;-)

Try:

F1 F2 F3 OVER F4 F5 F6

I tried that, but had no luck.
Thanks anyway.

Thanks,

Hmmm, you didn't get two rows of fields; F1 - F3 on the first row, and F4 - F6 on the second row? What did you get, or perhaps, are you really looking for something else?

 

[LeonelSanchezJr]

What I got was this:

F1HEADING, F1VALUE F2HEADING, F2VALUE F3HEADING, F3VALUE

What I'm looking for is some thing like this:

F1HEADING F2HEADING F3HEADING
F4HEADING F5HEADING F6HEADING

F1VALUE F2VALUE F3VALUE
F4VALUE F5VALUE F6VALUE




Thanks,

What you probably need what's known as the Macgyver technique.

Create a file of blanks, with as many rows as you require on the output

eg

TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT COUNTRY NOPRINT
AND COMPUTE
BLANK/A1 = ' ';
COUNTER/I9 = LAST COUNTER + 1;
WHERE RECORDLIMIT EQ x (as many rows as you need)
ON TABLE HOLD AS BLANKS
END


Create a dummy field in the data file and join to BLANKS
JOIN BLANK WITH CAR IN MYFILE TO ALL BLANK IN BLANKS

DEFINE FILE MYFILE
BLANK/A1 = ' ';
END

TABLE FILE MYFILE
PRINT CAR COUNTRY COUNTER
ON TABLE HOLD AS HOLD1
END

This file now contains each Car / Country x number of times, so

DEFINE FILE HOLD1
FIELD1/A20 = IF COUNTER EQ 1 THEN CAR ELSE
IF COUNTER EQ 2 THEN COUNTRY ELSE ' ';
END

TABLE FILE HOLD1
PRINT FIELD1 AS 'Car,Country'
END

Dependiong on what you're doing, you'll need to add various measures to prevent blank lines etc but this should be a start.

Thank you Craigiep; I do appreciate all your efforts.

I will try that, however, I was looking for a straight-forward approach. I guess that does not exist in WF; huh?


Thanks again; have a great day.


Thanks,
