AVI ,

Hmmmm cant reproduce your stated output.

Define _all_ doesnt do a heck of alot in fact unless you only have your one
var in your data set it should throw some warnings in your log, I would get
rid of the define _all_ statement all together.

Also if it is the only var in your data set I would skip the prior data step
and use width = 20 in your define statement for that var.

If you could provide some test data and the code tha produce your wierd
output it would go a long way in helping us help you.

Hello,

I have a data set with one variable "WRE".

When printing to HTML with proc report, the column WRE displays only
the first character of the values.
Proc print displays correctly.

The code:

data dddYo;
attrib wre length=$20.;
set dddYouDim;

     PROC REPORT data=dddYo nowd headline headskip ;
                 column (wre);
                 define _all_/display  center;
                                 define wre/display  left;

     proc print data=dddYo;


Please help understanding what it is going on
Avi
