Subject:      How to output previous spaces of value of variable in pdf file (
              trouble with ODS PRINTER PDF output)?

Dear all,

I am experiencing output trouble with ODS PRINTER PDF and PROC REPORT. In
output window the output is perfect but it is not in the pdf. All the
previous blank spaces of vaules of variable are cut off in the pdf file.
e.g. variable lstr has value '            title xxxxx', in output window,
variable lstr display '            title xxxxx', but in the pdf file it
display 'title xxxxx', all the previous blank spaces are cut off. I don't
why. Could someone help me here? Any suggestions are warmly welcome.

By the way, it seems that PS LS options in PROC REPORT have no effect on pdf
file too and page break neither.

Helen
