Re: Wrap...Keep-Top

Todd,

I cannot duplicate your problem:

==== Test SQR program ====

Begin-Setup
 Declare-Layout Default
 End-Declare
End-Setup

Begin-Report
 Let $V = 'dlkfjl sdkjf sldfjl sdfksl ksl dfkjlsd kfjsldk fjsdlfk sldh lshd lsh ido sldi.'
 Print '         1         2         3         4         5         6         7     ' (1,1)
 Print '123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345' (2,1)
 Print $V (5,20) Wrap 50 3
 Print 'Maximum columns is set to ' (10,1)
 Print #SQR-MAX-COLUMNS () Edit 88888
End-Report

     Maximum columns is set to 75

===========================

I tested this on a Sun/SPARC/Solaris platform using SQR 4.3.4.

I tested this on an Intel/Windows NT platform using SQR 4.3.4.

For me, it is wrapping correctly (start at column 20 for 50 columns with a max of 3 lines).
