Another HotDocs instruction model that does exactly what it sounds like, FORMAT allows you to specify the formattin of a “list style” RESULT. Rather than explain, I’ll simply provide 2 examples which demonstrates everything you’ll ever need to know about FORMAT.
Lets have a repeating dialog named “Party RPT” that has a single variable on it – PARTY Name TE. Lets produce some differing results with FORMAT, presuming that we have 3 names in our list:
Example #1
""
REPEAT Party RPT
FORMAT "a, b and c"
RESULT + PARTY Name TE
END REPEAT
//the RESULT is Seth Rowland, Rose Rowland and Ian Burrows Example #2
""
REPEAT Party RPT
FORMAT "a-b-c"
RESULT + PARTY Name TE
END REPEAT
//the RESULT is Seth Rowland-Rose Rowland-Ian Burrows All it is doing is specifying the format in which a list style result is accumulated and represented.
