Re: how to increase leading space in a character field using Report Builder 6i

Hello Flavio,
relax...
[Quoted] I'm not sure what you mean by 'manually inserting a blank at the source level'.
I guess it's my first suggestion: change the query your report is based on. [Quoted] 'select ' '||column_value from table' in stead of 'select column_value from table'.
[Quoted] My second suggestion would be to create a formula column that returns the column value with a couple of spaces added. Then change the source property [Quoted] of your item to the formula column.

I actually like playing with Reports a lot... Hope this helps, regards.
