{BLOCKHEADERS}

Command

The BLOCKHEADERS command displays all members that apply to a column as the column heading, in the style used by asymmetric reports.

Syntax

{ BLOCKHEADERS }

Default Value

The only format that can be used with asymmetric reports. Pyramid headers are the default for symmetric reports.

Description

This command displays all column members above each column in asymmetric style, in contrast to the pyramid display that is the default for symmetric reports.

Example

The following example is based on Sample Basic.

<PAGE Measures)

<SYM 
     <COLUMN (Scenario, Year, Market)
     Actual Budget

     East West
<ROW (Market)

Notes

BLOCKHEADERS is a setting command.
BLOCKHEADERS can be useful when columns are reordered and previously symmetric upper-tier column headers no longer align properly.
BLOCKHEADERS ensures right-justified alignment of all columns.
