The TITLELINE attribute allows you to control whether column titles are underlined for report output.

You can also control column title underlining using the SET TITLELINE command. For information, see Customizing Tabular Reports.

Syntax: How to Control Column Title Underlining Using a StyleSheet Attribute

TYPE={REPORT|TITLE}, TITLELINE =  (ON|OFF|SKIP)

Example: Controlling Column Title Underlining Using a StyleSheet Attribute

The following request has a BY and an ACROSS field.

TABLE FILE GGSALES
SUM UNITS BY PRODUCT
ACROSS REGION
ON TABLE SET PAGE-NUM OFF
ON TABLE HOLD FORMAT HTML
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
TYPE=REPORT, TITLELINE=ON, GRID=OFF, FONT=ARIAL,$
END

With the default value (ON) for TITLELINE, the column titles are underlined.

With TITLELINE=OFF, the column titles are not underlined, but the blank line where the underlines would have been is still there.

With TITLELINE=SKIP, both the underlines and the blank line are removed.
