Those characters in&nbsp;FORMCHAR are high order ASCII, with values above 127 and there is no standard for what those represent. So if you look at the result in a program that uses a different font you can get different appearance. Change fonts or change formchar.</P> <P>That is one of the reasons SAS spent a lot of time developing ODS output so that such appearance issues are not critical.</P> <P>From my SASV9.cfg</P> <PRE>/* This is the ANSI character set (for SAS Monospace font and ANSI Sasfont) */ -FORMCHAR '82838485868788898A8B8C2B3D7C2D2F5C3C3E2A'x</PRE> <P>note that this explicitly states which fonts the characters will work with (and draws much nicer boxes that the characters you are using <STRONG>when I use SASFONT of SAS Monospace</STRONG>)</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>I would suggest learning to use ODS destinations OR specifying a FORMCHAR option that works with the FONT you are going to use.</P> Wed, 03 Oct 2018 16:09:24 GMT https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Programming/how-to-fix-line-boraders/m-p/501198#M133605 ballardw 2018-10-03T16:09:24Z
