The question: How do you continue lines for an EDIT function ?

The problem: I'm would like to create defined fields from a 256 character field in the master. I've initially set this up in Report Assistant thinking it would create it correctly but I received an error.

POST_ACTIN/A1= EDIT ( SEGVALKSI001 ,
'$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
$$$$$$$$$$$$$
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$9' )
Thanks for any and all help !!!!

In latest releases, you can previously assign a variable with your mask:

-SET &MASK= '$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$' |
- '$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$9' ;
...
POST_ACTIN/A1 = EDIT(SEGVALKSI001, '&MASK' );
Otherwise, you must consider SUBSTR function:


POST_ACTIN/A1 = SUBSTR(, SEGVALKSI001, , , , POST_ACTIN);
Regards,
Mikel
