that the message is split between a few lines
Thanks

EXEC sp_addmessage 60000, 10, 'This

RAISERROR(60000, 10, 1)

A good example is a spreadsheet I created for one of my coworkers that draws
data from some SS queries. Word wrap wasn't working the way he wanted on
some column headers and adding the CR between 2 key parts of the field alias
solved the problem.

Why are you doing display in the database and not the front end? The
basic principle of a tiered architecture is that display is done in the
front end and never in the back end. This a more basic programming
principle than just SQL and RDBMS.

Add a line feed to a string

How do you add a line feed to string variable?
="Activate Item " + Fields!item_id.Value + \n + Fields!
item_desc.Value
