REPORT: ODS RTF (and PDF) lines and underlines in the header

[KevinViel]

I produce

with a REPORT procedure using a TEMPLATE with the following:

  style TABLE in template
  frame             = hsides
  rules             = none

  style HEADER in template
  borderbottomstyle = solid

  style DATA in template
  borderstyle       = none

I want the lines with the header omitted (I need the absolute top and bottom lines only):

Note that I produced the underline under "Span Header" using an inline style with textdecoration. 

I have two questions:

1) How can I omit the line or add a line to the absolute bottom of the header?

2) How can I get the text decoration (underline) to span the two columns and be centered over them?  This could expand to three columns or I could need to span two groups of columns with two headers.

Thank you,

Kevin

If you are modifying a style template then at least mention which is the parent style as that controls everything you have not explicitly shown. Better is to show your entire code for the style.

Second, show you create your output. Best is to include some example data in the form of a data step and the code creating the report, which should include your ODS destination options as well.

It is extremely difficult to suggest code for such specific requirements without all of the pieces.

Good points.  The template is:

proc template ;
  define style
         styles.fda_tfl / store  = library.templat
         ;

    parent = styles.pearl ;

   class fonts
        / "TitleFont"           = ( "Courier New"
                                  , 9pt
                                  )
          "TitleEmphasisFont"   = ( "Courier New"
                                  , 9pt
                                  , bold
                                  )
          "TitleFont2"          = ( "Courier New"
                                  , 9pt
                                  )
          "StrongFont"          = ( "Courier New"
                                  , 9pt
                                  , bold
                                  )
          "EmphasisFont"        = ( "Courier New"
                                  ,  9pt
                                  , italic
                                  )
          "FixedEmphasisFont"   = ( "Courier New"
                                  ,  9pt
                                  )
          "FixedStrongFont"     = ( "Courier New"
                                  ,  9pt
                                  , bold
                                  )
          "FixedHeadingFont"    = ( "Courier New"
                                  ,  9pt
                                  , bold
                                  )
          "BatchFixedFont"      = ( "Courier New"
                                  ,  9pt
                                  )
          "FixedFont"           = ( "Courier New"
                                  ,  9pt
                                  )
          "headingEmphasisFont" = ( "Courier New"
                                  ,  9pt
                                  , bold italic
                                  )
          "headingFont"         = ( "Courier New"
                                  ,  9pt
                                  , bold
                                  )
          "docFont"             = ( "Courier New"
                                  ,  9pt
                                  )
          ;

   style body from document
         / bottommargin    = _undef_
           topmargin       = _undef_
           rightmargin     = _undef_
           leftmargin      = _undef_

           ;

   style table
       / frame             = hsides
         rules             = none
         cellpadding       = 3pt
         cellspacing       = 0pt
         width             = 100%
         borderwidth       = 2
         ;

   style header
       / just              = c
         borderbottomstyle = solid
         borderbottomwidth = 1
         fontweight        = medium
         ;

   style data
       / just              = c
         verticalalign     = bottom
         borderstyle       = none
         padding           = 0
         ;

  end ;

run ;

I should have mentioned that this is the actual output, but I replaced the numbers.  Otherwise, it is part of a rather generic demographics table in clinical trials.

Thank you,

Kevin
