| Date | Tue, 27 Aug 2013 08:51:10 -0700 |
Hi,
How can I create a local macro over multiple lines?
My code below does not work and neither does trying to change the delimiter (#delimit ; etc).
local date_p "2010-12-01 2011-03-03 2011-12-01 2012-02-02 2012-07-06 ///
2010-08-01 2012-09-04 2012-11-02 2012-12-06 2013-01-03 ///
2013-02-01 2013-03-12 2013-04-04 2013-05-01 2013-06-13 ///
2013-07-02 2013-08-09"
Thanks for your help.
