In proc report and rtf ODS, is there a way wherein I can allign each column header (Left, Right or center). I know the style (header) gives us the option to allign all the coulmn headers, but not individual coulmn headers.

I am using the following syntax for style (header) and defining columns. I would like to left allign only the column header _NAME_ .


style(header)={BOTTOMMARGIN = 0IN cellheight=.15in font_face= "Times New Roman" font_size=9pt background=_undef_ font_weight= medium textalign=left}

columns PAGEIT PLAN PARA OR VISIT1 P CL _NAME_ ("^R/RTF'\brdrb\brdrs\brdrw1'Placebo &VAR2 |" Placebo CPLAC) EMPTY ("^R/RTF'\brdrb\brdrs\brdrw1'SB-5090 &VAR3|" _60_mg C60MG) ;

Hi:
STYLE(HEADER) in the PROC REPORT statement will impact ALL column headers on the report output. But you can also use STYLE(HEADER) on a DEFINE statement in order to impact just one variable's header.

In the code below, I set OUTPUTWIDTH=100% so you can see the impact of the different justification options. Note how I can justify the individual headers separately from the data cells. Also, note how HEIGHT and WEIGHT use the default header justification in the absence of any other instructions on a DEFINE statement.
