Q: How to create a column heading in RDA consisting of two lines?
A1: (Allows the usage of variables)
1.) Go to the Event Rule Editor
2.) Create an assinment statement, selecting your RC Column Heading as left value.
3.) Go to the Expression Editor to create the right value (the f(x) button beside the right value field).
4.) Enter the following in the expression window:
============================
concat(concat("My Text 1" /variable 1,"
"),"My Text 2" /variable 2)
============================
NOTE: After you opened the quotation mark for the second parameter of the inner concat function, you have to press simply the Enter key.
5.) Save: the statement > the event rule of the event > the UBE.
If your version containes overrides then test the result with a new version (Add instead of Copy!!!).
Of course, your headings will be appear correctly only when their length fit into the length of the column.
A2: "hard coded header"
Enter simply the following in the Expression Manager window:
============================
"My Text 1
My Text 2"
============================
You can omit the concat function, enter simply the column headings between quotation marks and break it into two line with hitting enter.
