[daip] run file line length question

[Rachel Friesen]

Hi there,

I'm trying to write a RUN file to loop over a number of files in my  
catalogue and write them to FITS. To do this I'm using a for loop  
over the catalogue numbers, and within the loop set the outfile to be  
the sourcename_sequence like so:

DEFAULT FITTP
DOWAIT 1
FOR I=20 TO 55; GETN I; OUTFIL 'PWD:'!!INNA!!'_'!!CHAR 
(INSEQ)!!'.FITS'; GO; END

This works, but seems to be at the limit of a run file's line length.  
If I want to do anything more complicated in a FOR loop, I'm not sure  
how to structure it. When I write the commands on separate lines, the  
file either doesn't work at all or simply writes the first file out  
to FITS and then ends. What is the syntax for writing multi-line for  
loops in run files?

thanks!
rachel
