I want to wrap line1, object=field item=1 in the subhead. The other items in the subhead ar placed using 'POSITION'. It won't wrap! Here is my code:
 
SET PRINTPLUS=ON
DEFINE FILE CAR
NEW_CAR/A50V WITH CAR = '12345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890';
HEADTEXT/A15 WITH CAR = '123465789012345';
CURR_DATE/MDYY WITH CAR = &MDYY;
END
TABLE FILE CAR
SUM

ENDSTYLE
END
-RUN

The other text in the heading MUST stay where it is. I just want the one field to wrap. Any help would be really appreciated. (My head hurts from banging it into the wall!)
Thanks in advance!

Hi Marilyn,

I fiddled a bit with your code.
Notice that for the SUBHEAD, I added HEADALIGN=INTERNAL and it seems to do the trick.
I also changed your WRAP=3 to WRAP=2, so that there shouldn't be an overlap.

NEW_CAR/A50V WITH CAR = '12345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890';

Thank you, Daniel! There must be a difference between your 7.7 and my7.6.11. The code did not work for me. I did discover, however, that if I make the fields "NEW_CAR" into A50, rather than A50V, it does wrap.

Thanks, again for your assistance!!
Marilyn
