I'm trying to create a multi select list using values like the following:

Asheville
Atlanta, GA
Wilkesboro
Chicago, IL

The problem is that some of the values have commas in them, e.g.

 WHERE (CHAPTER EQ &CHAPTER.(OR(<Asheville,Asheville><Atlanta, GA, Atlanta, GA>)).Select Chapters:. ); 

doesn't work because the values are separated by commas. Is there any way to escape the commas in the value strings? Another way to work around having commas in the value names?

Thanks!

Kenneth, did the "\" (backslash) character work?

Kenneth,

As your sample values are alpha then try this approach -

-SET &DUMMY = &CHAPTER.OR(<'Asheville','Asheville'>,<'Atlanta, GA','Atlanta, GA'>).Select Chapters:. ;
-SET &ECHO = ALL;
DEFINE FILE CAR
  COUNTRYA20/A20 = COUNTRY;
END
TABLE FILE CAR
  SUM RCOST DCOST
   BY COUNTRY
   BY CAR
   BY MODEL
WHERE COUNTRYA20 EQ &CHAPTER
END
