RE: [sqr-users] array printing challenge

["Knapp, Richard" <KnappR@umsystem.edu>]

I think this is a print challenge rather than an array challenge.  What
row(s) do you imagine these array elements are being printed on?

Array challenge

Ok, I am not sure if this is possible in SQR. I have an array of 
students that can store up to 16 names. I have defined my array as 
follows:

create-array name=instr_arr size=100  field=last_name:char

When I put values into my array, I actually concatenate students  name 
along with a | and a certain indicator. So a value in my array might 
look like this:

Liang|Y|
Jenn Doe|Y| Anna Smith|Y
Todd Bond|Y| Joe Shmoe| 

The problem is that when I print out this array and the array has a lot 
of names in it, the names wrap so that one part of the name is on one 
line and the other part of the name is on the other line. Here is an 
example:

                   Gallo|Y| Sarrafzdeh| Medghalchi| Swan| Shibata| 
Daryabandari| Turkkan| Almarmoom| Liebes| Alhussaini| Bush| Vande
rhoek| Almidfa| Khan| Ahmadi-Sabet|

Do you see  how Vanderhoek wraps around? How do I go about it? I need 
to figure out if I am at the end of the line and go to the next? I 
tried the wrap command, but it does not work, as I get the following 
error:

Error on line 287:
   (SQR 5304) Qualifier 'wrap' requires a numeric literal, variable, or 
column.
      print $instr_name (,+1) wrap 80, 2

Here is my code:

while #ind < {maxArraySize}
    let $instr_name = instr_arr.last_name(#ind)

    if ($flag = 'N')
      print $instr_name (,4,15)
    else
      print $instr_name (,+1) wrap 80, 2 - this wrap command does not 
work
    end-if

    let $flag = 'Y'
    add 1 to #ind

  end-while
 

Any ideas on how to go about this? Thank you!
