PM55743: FAST RENDERED TABLES NOT DISPLAYED CORRECTLY WHEN YOU USE CENTIMETERS AS MEASUREMENT SYSTEM IN TABLE LOOK OR VIA MENU

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• You work with IBM SPSS Statistics 20 and set the measurement
  system from inches to centimeters on Edit - Options - General
  tab. You then create a fast rendered table and double click on
  it. On Format - Table Properties dialog you change the values
  for column widths in centimeter on the General tab. After you
  click apply you notice that your table is not displayed
  correctly any more, for example it is shrinked.
  The same can happen if you use an existing table look file
  (*.stt) which uses centimeters for table margins and column
  widths instead of inches.
  As a workaround use full rendered tables (set tablerender =
  full) and your template with centimeters.
