Using White Space in a String Literal Can Cause Errors

Caution: Siebel eScript treats white space in a string literal differently from how it treats white space that occurs elsewhere. Placing a line break in a string causes Siebel eScript to treat each line as a separate statement. Each of these statements contains an error because they are not complete. To avoid this situation, you must keep string literals on a single line or create separate strings, and then use the string concatenation operator to concatenate them.

For example:

var Gettysburg = "Fourscore and seven years ago, " +
"our fathers brought forth on this continent a " +
"new nation.";
