RE: [U2] Header Trick Needed
Bill, You can use the backslash (\) as a delimiter within BASIC: execute \SORT SALES.ANALYSIS BY CUST HEADING 'Year-To-Date Sales ':This.Date.F \ note the backslashes surround the entire command to be executed. Or you could build the command in a variable, piece by piece, then EXECUTE TCL.CMD --Ron P. original e-mail snip execute SORT SALES.ANALYSIS BY CUSTHEADING 'Year-To-Date Sales ' : This.Date.F Perhaps more than the two standard quote chararacters, ['] and [] are available. --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
