i am reading some column value in a variable of PDF report: -READ HOLDTBL &COL1.A20;
The string value from COL1, which I am saving is: AA,BB,CC
But when i print the variable value, it shows only 'AA'. I changed the comma using ASCII char &|#44, but in PDF it prints same '&|#44' in place of comma. How to show complete string as 'AA,BB,CC'?

What is the script you use to create the HOLD file? (please post it) The string has 3 fields? so you want to read these 3 fields in separate variables?
If so change the command into
-READ HOLDTBL, &COL1 &COL2 &COL3
The comma after holdtbl indicates it is a comma delimited file.

These are not three fields. This is single string value reading from single column.This message has been edited. Last edited by: Abhi,

Abhi,
If I run the following code: FILEDEF IN DISK IN.TXT (LRECL 20 RECFM V -RUN -WRITE IN AA,BB,CC,DD -WRITE IN So this is text -RUN -READ IN &COL.20 -TYPE &COL -READ IN &COL.20 -TYPE &COL
Then the result is exactly as I expect: AA,BB,CC,DD So this is text
Please include your code so we can see what's wrong, because your short descriptiuon of the problem is not enough to go on.

GamP, FrankDutch has right approach (hope you dont mind Frank). Read it in as comma delimited like he said and add the line following his: -READ HOLDTBL, &COL1 &COL2 &COL3 -SET ALLTHREE = &COL1||','||&COL2||','||&COL3 ; YOU SHOULD SEE THE VALUES OF ALL THEEE SEPARATED BY COMMAS. YOU CAN CONTROL SPACING IN THERE USING PARENS AND WEAK CONCATENATION.
