In a report I am listing a mailing address. Instead of listing each column out like address_line_1, address_line_2, city, state, zip.. I would like to list them under one column.

Now, I know I could join them together in a define as something like:
ADDRESS_JOINED/A300 = ADDRESS_LINE_1||ADDRESS_LINE_2|| and so on, but I need to add a return after each line. Something like ADDRESS_JOINED/A300 = ADDRESS_LINE_1|'
Other than listing out formatting in a subhead, what can I do? is that my only option here?

Have you tried A OVER B OVER C...?

What is your report output format?

Yeah, I just ran across that in another thread. Thanks. That gets my data right but bumps my column heading to the left of my data, and how do I get a heading on my address data (without editing the style sheet preferably). I am still relatively new to WF as you can tell, so I appreciate any help.

PRINT SO_NUMBER AS 'So #'
ADDRESS_LINE1 AS '' IN 20 OVER ADDRESS_LINE2 AS '' IN 20

Outputs like:
So # 012345........123 Fakestreet
...................Suite B

But I need something like:
So #..............Street Address
012345............123 Fakestreet
..................Suite B
(Periods signify spacing)

This is in a PDF
