Text alignment in Proc Report to PDF

[sandyming]

Now, the PDF output using ODS + Proc Report,  is like this (textalign=r):

      Name

      100 (100.0)

             5 (3,8)

Is there a way that I can align the column like this?

       Name

      100 (100.0)

          5 (   3.8)

Thanks.

Hi:

  Is your NAME variable a character variable? And if so, do you have a leading space(s) in front of the 3.8? With the code below, I find that the first 3 obs, that are "padded" or the right number of characters, does work correctly in PDF. But the last obs doesn't look right, even with Courier New font, because the (3.8) isn't as wide as the (100.0).
