Hi,

Now I know I need to use @items() to get the data from table1, and I know I need to put the data in a list to work with it.
But my question is, how do i get the data into the table on seperate lines?

All i seem to do is get one big string on line 1 of my list.
Different entries in the table need to be on their own lines in the list.
Is it something to do with line feeding?

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

Hi DW,

Don't use LIST ADD,%%someVar, instead use LIST ASSIGN,%%someVar.

LIST ASSIGN,... ensures that all @cr() delimited strings will be added to
the string list as individual items instead of one item.
