Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Reporting:
Query/Results Administration and Development

> ## Delimiter characters

> By default, Results uses curly braces { } to delimit functions in report headers and footers. It also uses braces to delimit the fields in address, and other, labels. You can change these default settings by editing the `results.l` file before you perform the initial build. For example, seven-bit character sets use the curly braces for special characters, so you can changes the `results.l` file to specify angle brackets < > as delimiter characters.

> To change these delimiter characters, edit the following lines in the `results.l` file before the initial build:

>     left-delim= "{"
>     right-delim= "}"

> Note: Do not specify the same character for the left and right delimiter. You can use square brackets [ ] as long as there are no arrays within your reports or labels. You cannot use parentheses ( ) because they interfere with the label generation code.
