Multi Line Expressions

Multi Line Expressions

Multiple lines of text can be produced in a report by a single expression. To create a multi-line expression, insert a line feed before any new line. To do this, press the Enter key at the appropriate place in the code editor. There is no limit to the number of lines that can be included. For example, if you enter the following expression:

Number:

{5 + 2}

After the calculation, the result appearing in the report: 

Number:
7

The text output has two lines, one atop another.

An expression can contain any number of lines.

Code in Multi-Line Expressions

There are no additional limitations on using code to calculate values in multi-line expressions, other than those for Single-line expressions.
