This article was previously published under Q94696 SUMMARY
This article describes how to break lengthy control-flow statements such
as IF/THEN statements or WHILE loops into multiple shorter statements
while retaining their functionality. There is no line continuation
character in Basic or Visual Basic. It is useful to break up lines of code
so they are easy to view in the edit window without scrolling and are
within the compiler's (BC.EXE) line limit of 255 characters.
