I have two alpha fields that I concatenated. I need the newly defined field to show underneath each other instead of side by side. One is a supplier part nuber and one is a customer part number that looks for example like
6203vv 6202a1-a c ha1s7 and I need it to be 6203vv
6202al-a c hals7

I wouldn't concatenate the fields, I would do something like this instead:

TABLE FILE ...
PRINT
...
BY SUPPLIER_PART_NUMBER
ON SUPPLIER_PART_NUMBER SUBFOOT
"...
END

or user OVER - the technique you use would probably depend on what else your report contains.

What would be the proper syntax? Here is my code as I attempted to use the on command.
COMPUTE counter/D5 = counter + 1; AS ' '
space AS ' '
OBO_QTY AS ' '
space AS ' '
ORIGINAL_QTY AS ' '
space AS ' '
VA_BALANCE_QTY AS ' '
space AS ' '
SAE_PART_NAME AS ' '
space AS ' '
space AS ' '
space AS ' '
space AS ' '
CUST_PART_NAME AS ' '
ON ITEM_NAME AS ' '
SALES_PRICE AS ' '
space AS ' '
space AS ' '

That's the proper syntax. What error message are you getting? Maybe post the rest of your fex.

CUST_PART_NAME AS '' OVER
ITEM_NAME AS ''

The one little problem with OVER is that column titles get mucked up - you'll have to put them in the HEADING or SUBHEAD

I 'm getting your post confused with another I was answering earlier.
An easy solution to what you want would be to put all of your fields in a subhead section.
You could specify the content of each row with custom placement of fields. It would have the appearance of the output from the first fex you posted

Darin

I am not displaying any headings so I think OVER would be a good option for me. I don't want to use a subhead because this is a detail field. The over command crashes EDASERVE.

Unknown error occurred. Agent on reporting server EDASERVE may have crashed. Please investigate reporting server log.

As soon as you use the OVER, all subsequent field are moved to the next line, so your sales price field would also move. You could change the order in your fex and it would probably work.

PRINT
OBO_QTY AS '' IN 1
CUST_PART_NAME AS '' IN 10
SALES_PRICE IN 20 OVER
ITEM_NAME AS '' IN 10
(you would have to SET STYLEMODE=FIXED and SET HTMLCSS=ON for proper HTML display) or use PDF output.

You can still create a detail report with subhead. If you use PRINT and have the BY on the detail level (such as part number) you get what you need:

PRINT
part_number NOPRINT
BY part_number NOPRINT
ON part_number SUBHEAD
"

Left out the rest of the code
 "<OBO_QTY <ORIGINAL_QTY <VA_BALANCE_QTY <SAE_PART_NAME <CUST_PART_NAME <SALES_PRICE "
"<ITEM_NAME "


and used spot markers for proper positioning of columns.

Is this still in your code - space AS ' '
If so is space defined?
