No matter what I try, I can't get the text stored in an amper variable that is displayed in HEADING to wrap. I have tried the following with no effect on the report. What other options can I try to get this text in a heading to wrap?

TYPE=REPORT, WRAP=2.5,$
TYPE=HEADING, LINE=1, ITEM=1, OBJECT=TEXT, WRAP=2.5,$

I don't believe you can wrap actual text in a heading - the appearance of text would be something that you would normally control yourself. Try converting that &var value into a computed field and insert that field into the heading. I know WRAP does work for fields within a heading.

An answer is here: WRAP HEADING In PDF???

I used a DEFINE for the variable and then called it in the HEADING. That worked great. Thanks.

DEFINE FILE HELPPAGE
D_DESCRIPTION/A1000 = '&&reportDescription';
END

HEADING
"
TYPE=HEADING, LINE=1, ITEM=1, OBJECT=TEXT, SIZE=8, WRAP=7.5, $

Laurie, try this out.

-SET &TEXT = 'This is my long piece of text that needs to be wrapped.' ;

DEFINE FILE CAR
 MyText/A100 = '&TEXT' ;
END
TABLE FILE CAR
HEADING
"<MyText "
PRINT COUNTRY

ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT PDF
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
TYPE=HEADING, LINE=1, ITEM=1, OBJECT=FIELD, WRAP=1, $
ENDSTYLE
END

This worked great, thanks.

Why can't I get this to work????? I made a define field and used that field in the heading instead of the amp var.....

DEFINE FILE PEOPLE_DIM
HireDateOut/MtDYY=HDATE(PEOPLE_DIM.PEOPLE_DIM.FIRST_HIRE_DATE, 'YYMD');
MULTI_CODES/A150 = '&CLASSCODE';
END
TABLE FILE PEOPLE_DIM
SUM 
     'PEOPLE_DIM.PEOPLE_DIM.HireDateOut' AS 'Hire,Date'
     'J0.PEOPLE_EMPLOYMENT_HISTORY_DIM.BENEFIT_CODE' AS 'Benefit,Code'
     COMPUTE TOTEMPS/D5C = TOTEMPS + 1; NOPRINT
     'J0.PEOPLE_EMPLOYMENT_HISTORY_DIM.EMPLOYEE_ECLS_DESC' NOPRINT
BY 'PEOPLE_DIM.PEOPLE_DIM.LCLastName' NOPRINT
BY 'PEOPLE_DIM.PEOPLE_DIM.FIRST_NAME' NOPRINT
BY 'PEOPLE_DIM.PEOPLE_DIM.FULL_NAME' AS 'Name'
BY 'PEOPLE_DIM.PEOPLE_DIM.VNUM' AS 'Valley,Number'
ON TABLE SUBHEAD
"<NEW_DAY_TIME "
" "
"Employee Report For"
-IF &CLASSCODE EQ _FOC_NULL GOTO HEAD_ALL_CLASSCODES;
"<MULTI_CODES"
-GOTO KEEP_GOING;
-HEAD_ALL_CLASSCODES

Thanks for any help

Waz: Thant works for PDF.

Laurie: Add "WIDTH=.5" (adjust the ".5" as desired) for HTML output.
