I have coded an amper variable that I would like to display in a
report heading.

-SET &DLT = '<=';                       
-TYPE DLT = &DLT                        
                                        
TABLE FILE MMDB1                        
HEADING                                 
" REPORTS &DLT.EVAL DAYS OLD "          
" "                                     
BY ASSIGNEE                             
IF RECORDLIMIT EQ 2                     
END                                     
-RUN                                    
-EXIT

When I test it as above, I get this error:

quote:

> ERROR AT OR NEAR LINE 21 IN PROCEDURE OPORD_SUFOCEXEC
(FOC406) THE FIELDNAME IS NOT RECOGNIZED: =
BYPASSING TO END OF COMMAND

I know I could do this with a Define but can't it be done
on the fly with dialague manager?

Thanks!

Try this:

-SET &DLT = '&|lt;=';                       
-*                                        
TABLE FILE CAR
 HEADING                                 
  " REPORTS &DLT DAYS OLD "          
  " "                                     
 BY COUNTRY                             
END                                     

Or stick it in a field.

DEFINE FILE CAR
lt/A2 = '<=';
END                             
TABLE FILE CAR
 HEADING                                 
  " REPORTS <le DAYS OLD "          
  " "                                     
 BY COUNTRY                             
END  

Change the HEADING Line 1 in Waz's sample code to

" REPORTS <lt DAYS OLD "

Both options works fine.

Code Validate Failed !!!!

On my way home last night it occurred to me that
perhaps there is an HTML equivalent code for the
= sign.

Well, whoomp there it is!

-SET &DLT = '&|lt;=';
-SET &HDRD = '&|#060;' | '&|#061;';
-SET &AGEX = 30;

TABLE FILE MMDB1
HEADING CENTER
" Orders Opened: &DLT &AGEX Days Ago "
" Orders Opened: &HDRD &AGEX Days Ago " 
" "
BY ASSIGNEE
IF RECORDLIMIT EQ 5

END
-RUN

Thanks for you replies.
