I'd guess that the engine thinks that "plat" is a function, and the (1) is a parameter...so assuming that "guess,plat(1)" is a string you want to format, simply enclosing it in quotes should cure the problem, so:

put format("%11s %9s\n" , "guess, plat(1)")  into fld "myReport"

if 'guess' is a variable then

put format("%11s %9s\n" , guess, "plat(1)")  into fld "myReport"

Best,

Hello,

I am trying figure out if it is possible to use the format command with non
standard characters like ( ) /

put format("%11s %9s\n" , guess, plat(1)) into fld "myReport"

errors

if I use

put format("%11s %9s\n" , guess, plat1) into fld "myReport"

then it works.

Unfortunately I will need to include the () for the report.

Is there any way to accomplish this within the format command?

thanks,
