Tom,

The (LISTOF( ...)) function will give you a comma-delimited list.  You could
then use (ITEMCNT( ...)) to find out if there are more than one items in the
list, and, if so, use (SRPL( ...)) to replace the commas with whatever you
choose.

Subject: [RBASE-L] - Best Method Question - variables

Hi everyone,

What would be the best technique to return one, none, or many text values
into a single variable that can be separated by hard or carriage returns.
Ideally, I would like to incorporate this variable/value into a view for
display on a report.

I know that: 

"select committee from cramcommittee where memberend IS NULL and 
memberidnum = 100039" 

properly returns the values for member 100039

but, 

"select committee  into vcomserv from cramcommittee where memberend IS 
NULL and memberidnum = 100039" 

returns the error too many rows selected if the member belongs to more than
one committee.

What I hope to accomplish would is:

Committee 1
Committee 2
Committee 3, etc...

On a report.

Thank you for any guidance on this.
