WrapDepth Function



I'm trying to use the 'WrapDepth' command to determine the number of lines
needed to print a comment field.  Specifically, it's for our Purchase Orders
which have varying degrees of comments per PO.

Here is my logic:
I'm trying to use 'wrapdepth' to determine the number of print lines I need
for a variable length comment field.  The problem I'm having is that when I
use 'wrapdepth' the SQR just hangs.  Any suggestions from your experience?

Here is the portion of the code:

let #depth = wrapdepth(&CMMTL.COMMENTS_2000,120,1,'<13>','<10>')

print &CMMTL.COMMENTS_2000 (#line, 6) wrap 120 50 ON=<13> STRIP=<10>
  Next-Listing skiplines=0 need=#depth


*******************
It makes it through the 1st comment line, but on the 2nd (and subsequent)
comments it hangs right before the 'let #depth' command --- I then have to
manually cancel the SQR.  When I use a constant literal in the wrapdepth it
works fine --- ex.
wrapdepth('Comment',120,1,'<13>','<10>').  It just doesn't seem to like me
passing the database comment field.

Do you know of any problems with the wrapdepth command or what I'm doing
incorrectly?
