I have an idea but it might not fit your needs. Anyway, is your 
report amenable to using an SQL statement to get the data? If so, you 
might look at a QM query with its QM form for the layout - you can 
actually wrap a text field within a column with a QM form - something 
very messy in RPG, as you describe.

I think Scott's suggestion might work, except that I think it wraps 
to the first position on the report, if I remember correctly. It only 
makes a folded line break at a blank instead of the end of the line.

Come on back if the QM solution sounds good - you can get a really 
nice report with it - multiple header and footer lines and break 
sections and all that.
