Tabbed formatting in report headers, footers

I need to be able to set tabs in the headers, so I can align information correctly. Currently, I have a need to put a location name to the left, a field description to the right on a right tab, and a field total on a decimal tab on the right. IA does not have tabs, so my information shifts when the data feeding it changes.


Use Case:

Currently, I have a need to put a location name to the left, a field description to the right on a right tab, and a field total on a decimal tab on the right.

    For clarification, are you looking to include tabs that you can click to see different parts of the report or looking to justify headers to the left/right?

    The CAAC has reviewed this requirement and recommends that IBM view this as a medium priority requirement that should be addressed.

    Background: The COMMON Americas Advisory Council (CAAC) members have a broad range of experience in working with small and medium-sized IBM i customers. CAAC has a key role in working with IBM i development to help assess the value and impact of individual RFEs on the broader IBM i community, and has therefore reviewed your RFE.

    For more information about CAAC, see www.common.org/caac
