V6-AF-D080 Setting column width with _SET_COLUMN_ATTRIBUTES_ may not work

If you attempt to define the width of a column in a Data Table object ina SAS/AF FRAME entry by setting COLUMN_WIDTH with the methods _SET_COLUMN_ATTRIBUTES_ or _SET_COLUMN_ATTRIBUTE_, the width of the column may not be adjusted to the width you specified.

To circumvent the problem, you will need to (1) open the data set with _SET_DATASET_ and (2) override the Table Data Model method _CLEAR_SOFT_RESIZES_ by executing _SET_INSTANCE_METHOD_. In the method override, execute the following statements:

     CLEARSR:
        method;
           call super(_self_,'_clear_soft_resizes_');
           call send(_self_,'_set_column_attribute_','colname',
                     'column_width',100);
        endmethod;

Note that the number you specify for COLUMN_WIDTH is measured in points (72 points/inch) and it *must* be wide enough to accommodate the column label's text.
