Column Formatting

[psamedy]

Hello
Im trying to print a variable in a form letter in columnar format. The letter and the embedded variable exists in the detail section of a report.

This is what I was using:
WhileprintingRecords;
StringVar Item := {PPO_GROUP.DESCRIPTION}
StringVar Chain;
NumberVar ChCnt;

if ChCnt = 1
then (ChCnt:= 2; Chain:= Item)
else
if length(Chain) + Length(Item) > 254
then Chain := Chain else
Chain := chain+', '+Item

When I attempt to use the formatting script posted by Synapsevampire in a previous post I get an error stating that a number is required following the Chr(13). I'm not sure where I went wrong or if this will work for me. Please Help, Thanks

This is what i'm trying to use:

stringvar MyConcat := {PPO_GROUP.DESCRIPTION};
numbervar TheCounter := TheCounter+1;
if TheCounter/3 = int(TheCounter/3) then

MyConcat := {PPO_GROUP.DESCRIPTION}+replicatestring(" ",25-length({PPO_GROUP.DESCRIPTION})+chr(13))
else
MyConcat := {PPO_GROUP.DESCRIPTION}+replicatestring(" ",25-length({PPO_GROUP.DESCRIPTION}))

MyConcat := {PPO_GROUP.DESCRIPTION}+replicatestring(" ",25-length({PPO_GROUP.DESCRIPTION}))+chr(13)
else
MyConcat := {PPO_GROUP.DESCRIPTION}+replicatestring(" ",25-length({PPO_GROUP.DESCRIPTION}))

-k

Thanks
the formula returns no error, but the variable no longer accumulates the data I need for each letter.?.? It shows one record ({PPO_GROUP.DESCRIPTION})per letter.
