I am using PROC REPORT to format a report an am having trouble getting only the first line printed in a compute block to have a background color of gray to highlight that line.   I have attached the SAS code for PROC REPORT and an example from the program.   Any suggestions will be appreciated.  Thanks!

How do you know it didn't work? You didn't put any actual text on the first line.

line "^S={fontweight=bold fontstyle=roman just=l backgroundcolor=white}";

Hi:

  Without data, no one can run your program. I sort of did your COMPUTE block on SASHELP.CLASS and just hard-coded some text:

  I took out the @ pointer controls that you used and made some other small modifications.

 

  Not sure what you were doing there with Line 2 in the compute block. I changed the background to light yellow so it would be visible.
