Hello Everyone,

I have the below code snippet where I'm trying to get Hello in one line and John in another line. I'm using CTran function where "," is being replace to "/n"(new Line). But when I'm running this, I'm getting some weired error. Can someone help with this?

Thanks,

-SET &ECHO=ON;
-SET &COMMENTS = 'Hello,john';
-SET &ALT_ADDR = CTRAN(50, &COMMENTS, 44, 10, 'A50');
-TYPE &ALT_ADDR;

TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT COUNTRY AS 'Country,Name'
END

Where exactly do you want that to appear? In a column title? in a heading? as the value of an actual field?

You have some Dialog Manager conversion operating in &variables but your actual report makes no use of them so it is not clear what your goal is.

So first off, you've got to have a line that displays some sort of heading such as

HEADING
"&ALT_ADDR "

However this isn't really the way to handle splitting the line into multiple lines. Probably best to use GETTOK to create multiples and then

HEADING
"&LINE1"
"&LINE2"

If the report output is html only you can simply replace any comma in the string with a 
 <br>

and you get the same result.

You can reference this post for use in PDF output.

Darin I think you missed the code tag for 
<br>
above.



You can also use the 
<br>
with MARKUP=ON in the stylesheet, but not knowing the layout of the report, it may cause problems.
