Command and then type in your command. You’ll have to type in the

it while entering the command. It’s a little tricky to get it to work but
a little patience will get you there. Just do each command one at a time on a
separate line. I have never tried a loop but I’m sure you can figure if
out.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

all</span></font> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>I'm
trying to insert a table of values, from the workflow container, to a workflow
task description to be sent our users.</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>As
the table does not have field headings, I need to format the output to make it
understandable. </span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>I've
tried to export each field as a new table and inserted 'all lines as
cont. text', one field under another; however, the fields do not align nicely
due to their varying lengths. </span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>E.g.
</span></font><br>
<font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>&ITEM[]&</span></font>
<br>
<font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>&VALUE[]&</span></font>
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>Each
record from these individual field tables can be also written one by one, by
specifying the record number e.g. Item: &ITEM[1]& for the first record.</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial'>Is
it possible to have a loop to define how many records are written to the task
description?</span></font> <o:p></o:p></p>
