The continuation character is a dash. Just put it at the end of the line in the script before the carriage return. Or you don't need the continuation characters if you take out your carriage returns and just have everything on one really long line.
ie. do some stuff here in my script - continuing stuff from the line above or do some stuff here in my script continuing stuff from the line above More information on how you are copying these scripts and where you are getting the error might help more. Maybe you are missing a closed quote somewhere. ______________________________ John Monahan Consultant Infrastructure Solutions Group Computech Resources, Inc.

I get the below message. These work find on the5.2 server but unfortunately knowing little about SQL I'm not sure where to break these up to get them created. Can anyone help me with some direction, possible samples, on where to put the continuation character? These scripts have multiple selects A command in the script contains a combination of double and single quotation characters. The command must be continued across multiple lines with a continuation character as the last character in the line.
