Single Record in data file to multiple lines in report

Single Record in data file to multiple lines in report

Single Record in data file to multiple lines in report

(OP)
I have a database with many defined fields.
A single selected record's fields have to be reported one under the other. i.e different rows.
How can I achieve this by using a single TABLE FILE request?
Will mail more details if necessary.
Regards,
Anil Rao

See Chapter 21 - Creating Free Form Reports.
Below is an example using Employee Info.

TABLE FILE filename
HEADING
"<10> title of page" -*Starts title in 10th column
"</2"                -*Skip 2 lines
"EMP.ID <EMPLOYEEIDFIELD>"
"NAME: <FIRSTNAMEFIELD> <LASTNAMEFIELD>"
"ADDRESS: <ADDFIELD> <CITY> <ST> <ZIP>"
BY EMPID
WHERE EMPID = &EMP    -*'&EMP' allows prompt of EMPID.
END
