Re: [U2] [UV] Continuing Long Lines
I know you are UV, but sometimes UD and UV have commonalities. Anyway, on UD we can use a pipe | as a line continuation. IF (TV AND TV2) OR | (TV3 AND TV4) THEN CRT 'MATCH' END Doubt if it will work on UV, but worth a try.

Can I break the expression onto several lines for readability ? I can't find any reference to a continuation character in the manuals, and just breaking the expression doesn't compile. I know I can put the THEN clause on a separate line, but it's the bit between IF and THEN that I want to split.

RE: [U2] [UV] Continuing Long Lines
The original poster was asking about a single IF statement and how to split it into several lines, I don't think using a CASE structure would solve this particular problem. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bruce Nichol Sent: Friday, 25 August 2006 11:42 AM To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Subject: RE: [U2] [UV] Continuing Long Lines Goo'day, At 11:01 25/08/06 +0800, you wrote: One way to break up a large condition is to do something like this...
