Dennis Here is enhancement request 1862 I placed with RDCC today. Thanks for your idea:
When you do CHOOSE FROM #VALUES command, one of the best features is that you can use LJS in the FOR part of the command, along with FORMATTED, to display several columns of data lined up. However, if you try to use the TITLE option to create column headings for the data, you run into two problems: the title is always CENTERED and the font is diferent and proportional, so it becomes nearly impossible to line up the titles with the data. There are work arounds, discussed recently on the list server, but none really do the job. We need two features: the ability to request that the title line is LEFT justified instead of centered and to request using the same font for that line as for the data. Thanks! Either that, or add another option "LEGEND" which would give us the desired functionality.
