 Posted: Fri Oct 19, 2007 7:38 am Post subject: Easytrieve question - displaying more fields/headings ? |
 |
|
I'm a beginning Easytrieve user, but I really like using it so far.
What I do have a question on, though, is how to get more 'columns' on my report. I seem to be limited to specifying my column headings all on one line, so I can only display a limited number of fields.
Does anyone know how to extend this so I can display more fields ? |

I currently have 9 fields/columns on the report. I want to add more, but I don't know if it's possible to continue onto a subsequent line :
| Code: | TITLE 1 'ELF TEST ENDORSEMENT REPORT'
LINE POLICY# SUFF TBD EFF-DT TIME PROCESS-DT DNR-1 DNR-2 FIELD-3 |
In other words, I want to display FIELD-4, FIELD-5, etc., but those won't fit on the line where the headings are specified....
Thanks. |

The last nonblank character of a statement terminates the statement unless that
character is a hyphen (-) or a plus sign (+).
A hyphen indicates that the statement continues at the start of the next
statement area.
A plus sign indicates that the statement continues with the first nonblank
character in the next statement area.
Solution:
LINE POLICY# SUFF TBD EFF-DT TIME PROCESS-DT DNR-1 DNR-2 +
FIELD-3 FIELD-4 FIELD5
Also, the maximum line size is 132 characters.... |
