assignemnt in comment not working

[bigtallanddopey]

HI guys

I am having an issue with putting an assignment into a comment.

if I do this it doesn't work

          COMMENT/REPT,
            PR(1)= V7

However this does.

            COMMENT/REPT,
            PR(1)= 
            V7

hopefully that shows up. Basically I am wanting the assignment right after the = sign as it has to go into a DMO generated file. However I cannot get it to work unless I press enter and put it onto the line below. Is there any reason for this that is obvious and is just a general pcdmis nogo.

Type the assignment name first (V7) and hit enter, it will ask if it refers to the variable - say Yes.

Next type the other bit of the comment in and put it in quote marks to followed by a plus sign. "PR(1)"+V7


You have to do it this way, else how does the demon know you want to use the value of V7 instead of displaying the text "V7"?

I know right! I don't get why we need to program this software, why can't it just read your mind and the print and do it all for us?!?
