REPORT 1415<br />

• VALUE and LABEL have no effect unless LIST has been specified on the FORMAT<br />

subcommand.<br />

• When AUTOMATIC is in effect, value labels or string values are centered in the column<br />

based on the length of the longest string or label; numeric values are centered based on<br />

the width of the widest value or summary format. When MANUAL is in effect, value labels<br />

or string values are left-justified in the column and numeric values are right-justified. (See<br />

the OFFSET keyword on p. 1416.)<br />

Column Heading<br />

The following option can be used to specify a heading for the report column:<br />

‘column heading’ Column heading for the preceding variable. The heading must be<br />

enclosed in apostrophes or quotation marks. If no column heading is<br />

specified, the default is the variable label or, if no variable label has<br />

been specified, the variable name.<br />

• To specify multiple-line headings, enclose each line in a set of apostrophes or quotation<br />

marks, using the conventions for strings (see “<strong>Command</strong> Specification” on p. 4 in<br />

Volume I). The specifications for title lines should be separated by at least one blank.<br />

• Default column headings wrap for as many lines as are required to display the entire label.<br />

If AUTOMATIC is in effect, user-specified column headings appear exactly as specified,<br />

even if the column width must be extended. If MANUAL is in effect, user-specified titles<br />

wrap to fit within the column width.<br />

Column Heading Alignment<br />

The following options can be used to specify how column headings are aligned:<br />

(LEFT) Left-aligned column heading.<br />

(CENTER) Centered column heading.<br />

(RIGHT) Right-aligned column heading.<br />

• If AUTOMATIC is in effect, column headings are centered within their columns by default.<br />

If value labels or string values exceed the width of the longest word in the heading, the<br />

heading is left-justified.<br />

• If MANUAL is in effect, column headings are left-justified for value labels or string values<br />

and right-justified for numeric values by default.
