Help,. I'm stumped.

[RPower@xxxxxxxxxx]

I'm getting off track I can tell.
Here's what I need to do.  Creating a dynamic DDS for a physical file for 
the user in showcase.  The descriptions for the fields can change in a 
data file.  Descriptions are 30 long.  Example of the data:
CAUSE DESC 
Poor Flow/Grade 
Roots 
Grease/Heavy In Line
Debris In Line 
Damaged/Squat 
Pipe Dropped 
Unknown 
Internal Problem 
To create the DDS from these descriptions, I'd like to have them look good 
for Showcase.  For example

Poor
Flow/Grade
   'Y'

I'm not doing a good job of explaining this I know...
Anyway, does anyone have a good way of parsing out the descriptions so 
that I can have the columns look good?  I thought I had an idea about an 
hour ago, but I'm not getting anywhere now.  The max for a column in the 
DDS is 20 per line, plus I'd like to use the blanks as the line separation 
point.  Drawing a blank now, and I quit smoking over the weekend so I'm 
not concentrating like I could I'm sure.  Any help would be appreciated.
