Problem:

Pprogram has a push-button with a long title to display on two lines but nothing makes it look right.  Embedding the carriage-return in the title it still comes out on one line.

Resolution:

Define a working-storage item containing the title and use that working-storage name in the push-button's title property.  Make sure to set the multiline property of the push-button.

For example, use this working-storage description:

01 ButtonTitle.

    05 LINE1 pic x(5) value "line1".

    05 LF pic x(2) value x"0D0A".

    05 LINE2 pic x(5) value "line2".

Then a screen-section description of the push-button:

    03 Push-Button,

         COL 4, LINE 4, LINES 4 CELLS, SIZE 7 CELLS,

         MULTILINE, TITLE ButtonTitle.
