long SET string constants that span lines

Posted by Bob Acker on February 03, 2010 at 07:20:41:

is there any easy way to build long string constants using a SET verb?

something like:

SET Months.of.the.Year$ = "January
February
:
September
:
December

there is an example under nputFile and PrintFile Statements which shows doing this with a _VARIABLE_, where the code is actually CONCATenating the lines with a "+", and the usual underscore:

table$ = _
'@000102039C09867F978D8E0B0C0D0E0F@'+_
:
'@30313233343536373839FAFBFCFDFEFF@'

Thanx!
