[SOLVED] How to wrap ACROSS value (work as column title)?

I am trying to wrap ACROSS value with the same old syntax by inserting ",", but it doesn't work.

TABLE FILE EXPENSES
SUM AMOUNT AS ''
ACROSS DEPT COLUMNS 'ABCD,EFGH' AND 'XXYY,ZZZZ'
BY REGION
END

The output just copies the comma, but doesn't wrap the dept value.

Any suggestion?

the COLUMNS command isn't an AS phrase. the COLUMNS command refers to actual values in the DEPT field. Useful for changing the order of display... Do you have commas within the actual values in the DEPT fields?

What output format?

If MS Excel then you could replace (use STRREP) with carraige control and/or line feeds (HEXBYT(13,'A1')||HEXBYT(10,'A1')). Also use stylesheet for that column to include WRAP=ON.
If HTML then look at using the HTML tag <:br />

Tony's solution works. I was trying to use Excel function but this seems better. Thanks.
