Hello all...

Was there a solution found for this?

I am successful in setting the Width.Autosize value, but the data looks cramped, and the consumers of the report would like to add a little white space after each column.

When I use ls_retval = dw_name.Describe("#" + String( ll_Loop ) + ".Width") to get the (new) width, it is reporting the original width of the column, not the new adjusted width.

I've tried lots of variations using Evaluate, but can't seem to get the value of the width of the column.

I am using PB2022 R3.

Thanks Chris, 

Unfortunately, Evaluate() isn't my strongest skill, assuming I have any (lol). 

Can anyone give me a head start on the format to get the width of a specified column using Evaluate? 

Among others, I have tried the following with no joy. Have tried with both row = 1 and row = 0, same result in all cases. 

// Tried this thinking maybe .width was possibly a function in "datawindow language"
// Generates error "User function was not found"
ls_ModString = "Evaluate('Width(col0)', 1)"
ls_Result = dw_detail.Describe (ls_ModString)

What other formats yield the width of a column using Evaluate?

TIA

Neil

Hi Neil;

    You would have to use the Evaluate ( ) method for that aspect.
