I am trying to print the following in report heading.

"Test Date < Than Today "

Error is displayed Field name "Than" does not exit.

It is searching <Than field name in the master file as Field Identification character is "<"

How do I avoid this error?

Either avoid the "less" symbol (spell it out),

or put it in a defined variable
LESS/A1='<';
and change
"... < than ..."
to
"... <LESS than ..."

or put the whole legend in a variable
LEGEND/A40=' ... ';
"<LEGEND"

Unless it's a necessary evil to use the '<' in the heading, why not 'LT' or spell it out.

I have had to face that one before and decided to go with the LT rather than fuss with variables.

Hope everyone is staying warm this winter.
