DOCUMENT:Q273471 23-OCT-2000 [winnt] TITLE :Creating Multiple-Line, Single-Value Attributes in Templates PRODUCT :Microsoft Windows NT PROD/VER::2.1,2.2 OPER/SYS: KEYWORDS:metadirectory MMS ====================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The information in this article applies to: - Microsoft Metadirectory Services, versions 2.1, 2.2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY ======= When you create a single-value, multiple-line attribute in a construction template, you must incorporate the c_newline constant into the construction template. MORE INFORMATION ================ For example, assume that there are three variables: $v1, $v2, and $v3. These are all single-value variables. To combine them into a single-value, multiple-line attribute, use the c_newline constant. You can then specify the inclusion of a linefeed in the value: $newVar = $v1 $c_newline $v2 $c_newline $v3 As with all variables that are used in a Microsoft Metadirectory Services (MMS) template, you must use a preceding "$" character to force the parser to recognize the constant as a value rather than as a literal string. You must define the c_newline constant in the management agent's Design MA action, on the Template Definitions tab. If required, add the following line to the Template Definitions tab: c_newline code:10 Additional query words: line feed valued lined ====================================================================== Keywords : metadirectory MMS Technology : kbMMSSearch kbMMS210 kbMMS220 Version : :2.1,2.2 Issue type : kbinfo ============================================================================= THE INFORMATION PROVIDED IN THE MICROSOFT KNOWLEDGE BASE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND.
