From: Audrey M. on
I need to create a listing like this:

Patient Lab_parameter Value
________________________________________________________________________
01 Hematocrit 10.0
The data was confirmed by query.
Hemoglobin 11.0
The investigator confirmed the data.
....

So my issue is that I need to put a comment under each laboratory
value and in case I do not have a comment in COMMENTS or if the
comments is too long, there is a blank line under each laboratory data
or the comment is cut.
I have tried the Compute after statement but I cannot delete this
blank or I cannot have the end. So my question is : how to program in
order to have this line(s) of comments present or not (depending if
data are present or not in COMMENTS variable.

Thanks.

Use a $varying format with a length of zero to suppress the line. It
is explained on the page you can link to below.
