Assuming you already 'indented' the text by padding the space in
the var, to show the 'indent' or space, you need to turn on the
asis option in style:

data xx;
a='not indent'; output;
a=' indent '; output;
run;

ods rtf file="c:\temp\junk.rtf";
ods pdf file="c:\temp\junk.pdf";

proc report data=xx nowd;
column a;
define a / display style=[asis=on];
run;

ods rtf close;
ods pdf close;

As for the blank line then you should do that using a compute block
for your ODS output. Another way of doing indents is to use repeats of
the non-breaking space character "A0"x but if your text is
proportional it won't look the same as ascii output indents.

My %npcttab macro handles this situation well and can simultaneously
generate ascii output and ODS output and have it all looking right.

Thank you! The problem is solved.
