7. Program Editor: Enter a Statement across Multiple Lines

Procedure

  1. Type the statement on multiple lines, exactly the way you want it to appear.
  2. Place the insertion point at the end of the first line in the series.
  3. Press the spacebar once to insert a single space.
  4. Type an underscore ( _ ).

    Note: The underscore is the line-continuation character, which indicates that the statement continues on the following line.

  5. Repeat 2 - 4 to place a line-continuation character at the end of each line in the series, except the last.
