I used the commandline: fop.sh -fo span.fo -pdf span.pdf.
As you have a variable for your report header - this suggests to me that you are doing other processing before you actually produce final output?
I use tables and spanning rows / columns almost every day - and have never hit any problems with FOP 0.20.5.
*There are other problems with tables - but not with cols/rows spanned.)
I've always downloaded the binary installations - so have never built FOP from source.
I use it on RedHat 7.3 and Fedora Core 2
Below is the output if I use 'fop.sh -fo span.fo -txt span.txt' What do you get on your system?
${report.headerLeft[0]}
---Item----Responses------------Correct-------%--Correct-----------Errors--------%--Errors-
Num
Group of Rows #1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1
1 A B C D E
2 A B C D E
3 A B C D E
4 A B C D E
Group of Rows #2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2
1 A B C D E
2 A B C D E
3 A B C D E
4 A B C D E

I am having trouble getting a cell to span multiple columns. I have looked at the examples and read/re-read the specs, but no joy. Any help is appreciated - I have seen several posts affirming that this feature is supported, so its obviously a "user error". Any help is appreciated.
BTW, unti this I have really been breezing along in FO/FOP doing my first database report (have been using FOP to convert SVG to PDF for a couple of years). Its great.
Anyway, below is my FO file. The problem is that my separator row, marked with "<!-- SEPARATOR ROW -->" ends up wrapped in the first narrow column (.5 inch) instead of spanning all six columns.
Again thanks in advance for any help - Richard
