289.0. "Continue FOR loop in BLP?" by KERNEL::LOAT (Bored....Bored....BORED!!!!) Fri Mar 20 1992 11:54

    
    VMS 5.4 ALL-IN-1 2.4
    
    When using continuation characters in a boilerplate, is it possible to
    split one long command line into lots of seperate lines?
    
    The example in the documentation for using MERGE continuation markers
    seems to only use discrete symbols which have meaning on their own.
    
    The customer wants to use something like:
    
    <for  profil do get .username:20><->
    <.prvapp><->
    <.direct><->
    
    etc etc.
    
    This doesn't seem to work here, and it gives blanks for everything but
    the initial line. Am I missing anything out, or will this ever work?

    Hi,
    
    When you want a list of profil-fields use something like:
    
    <&OA FOR PROFIL DO .FX MERGE_LINE <.USER>>
    
    I don't think (maybe someone will correct me) a &OA function can be
    split onto seperate lines. What you can do instead is something like:
    
    <&OA GET #f = "     function 1 " ><->
    <&OA GET #f = #f " \function 2 " ><->
    <&OA GET #f = #f " \function 3 " ><->
    <&OA GET OA$FUNCTION = #f        >
    
    Success, Sjaak.
289.2Is this what you need?PAJERO::RHOTONJohn Rhoton @TNO - DTN 871.7947Fri Mar 20 1992 13:267
    I tried the following which worked for me.
