Subject [RBASE-L] - report printing from a list
I have a total mental block from the most basic command and I just need
someone to help me before I commit myself into a insane facility.
I have a variable (vSelect) which its, a list generated from a choose
command the variable looks like this yellow, red, magenta, blue
So, I need to print a report which only will print those categories,
for example
Print myreport where colors in (.vselect) (of course it's wrong but I
cannot remember how to address a simple variable with values separated
by a comma. (I know that I must surround with parenthesis but I fail to
remember how I have done this a 100's of time in the far
past....sooooooo help!!!!
Thank you guys for any hint or help that you can give me
Robert Rugilo
