This is what happens on -READ, I have looked at the documentation but doesn't help. I thought this is easy.
This is the code -READ SAVE &LD.A17. &LDF.A1. &OP.A17. &OPF.A1. &OE.A17. &OEF.A1. &TW.A17. &TWF.A1., - &TR.A17. &TRF.A1. &CL.A17. &CLF.A1. &MP.A17. &MPF.A1. &MN.A17. &MNF.A1.; This is the output -READ SAVE &LD.A17. &LDF.A1. &OP.A17. &OPF.A1. &OE.A17. &OEF.A1. &TW.A17. &TWF.A1., (FOC303) CONTROL LINE NOT RECOGNIZED IN FOCEXEC: - &TR.A17. &TRF.A1. &CL.A17. &CLF.A1. &MP.A17. &MPF.A1. &MN.A17. &MNF.A1.; any insight will help here,
Thanks,

Vipul,
When you specify the length of variable values then the syntax requires you to add a comma after the dash on the continuation line.

Thanks susannah, Never thought of that...;-). You are really industrious.
Thanks Sandy, but this also does not work, I have tried it. It took that as a DM command and gave me error.

Vipul,
Could the problem be the semi-colon at the end of the second line of your -READ statement?
The syntax for the -READ statement has no semi-colon at the end:
If the list of variables is longer than one line, end the first line with a comma and begin the next line with a dash followed by a blank. Use a dash and a comma for comma-delimited files.
