I have been working for several hours on the issue of my line of code in my report wrapping around to the next line and the error said "lease wasn't recognized". my line was too long, but how do I wrap it
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT

&SortValue.(
  <car name,CAR.NAME>,<car name,CAR.NAME>,<car name,CAR.NAME>,<car name,CAR.NAME>,<car name,CAR.NAME>,<car name,CAR.NAME>,<car name,CAR.NAME>,<car name,CAR.NAME>,<car name,CAR.NAME>,<car name,CAR.NAME>,<car name,CAR.NAME>,<car name,CAR.NAME>,<car name,CAR.NAME>,<car name,CAR.NAME>,<car name,CAR.NAME>,<car name,CAR.NAME>,<car name,CAR.NAME>,<car name,CAR.NAME>,<car name,CAR.NAME>,<car name,CAR.NAME>,<car name,CAR.NAME>,<car name,CAR.NAME>,<car name,CAR.NAME>
)
END
to make this work I had to
-SET List1 = '
<car name,CAR.NAME>,<car name,CAR.NAME>,<car name,CAR.NAME>,<car name,CAR.NAME>,<car name,CAR.NAME>,<car name,CAR.NAME>,<car name,CAR.NAME>,<car name,CAR.NAME>,<car name,CAR.NAME>,<car name,CAR.NAME>,<car name,CAR.NAME>,<car name,CAR.NAME>,'
;
-SET List2 = '
<car name,CAR.NAME>,<car name,CAR.NAME>,<car name,CAR.NAME>,<car name,CAR.NAME>,<car name,CAR.NAME>,<car name,CAR.NAME>,<car name,CAR.NAME>,<car name,CAR.NAME>,<car name,CAR.NAME>,<car name,CAR.NAME>,<car name,CAR.NAME>
;
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT
&SortValue.(&LIST1 &List2).Please select sort field(s).
END
This is just an example

Heidi,

I can't understand what your trying to accomplish from your example. Whats wrapping? Can you post your actual code? We will probably be able to help more if you post it.

Thanks

I have corrected my code. Of course in my real code its not the same variable over and over again. This is just an example I don't need help with the issue. I just wanted to post a issue I was dealing will that was a pain and this is how I resolved it.

I get what you're doing in there. You're writing a guided adhoc application. It seems that you have found a way forward.

Something else you might want to consider is under the amper auto-prompting section there is a sub section called "Adding Dynamic Lists of Display and Sort Fields" This might be better for you to use then having to define a large list of values every time. If you're creating business views, you might also be able to do something similar with the SYSCOLUM table.

Good luck with your GA applications.
