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
