Re: Eval variable = long text

RTFM

A continuation can also occur within a literal – For character, date,
time, and timestamp literals - A hyphen (-) indicates continuation is
in the first available position in the continued field - A plus (+)
indicates continuation with the first non-blank character in or past
the first position in the continued field

d QUOTE c const('''')

MyVar = 'This is a sentence of around +
130 characters containing +
apostrophes an' + QUOTE + 'all';

Though I tend to just concat everything
MyVar = 'This is a sentence of around'
+ ' 130 characters containing'
+ ' apostrophes an' + QUOTE + 'all';

 Hi all,

In Free form,

How do I write :

 MyVar = "This is a sentence of around 130 characters containing apostrophes an'all"

Message file is not a possibility for me.

I don't want to put it in a constant as I think it will never be reused and I cannot give it a meaningful name.


Thanks
