Gamotte,

Asking how to do this with %PUT is somewhat like asking how to split
hairs with an ax.  However,

   1          options nosource ;
   %put hello; %put world;
   hello
   world

Hi,

I would like to know how to introduce a carriage return in a text
displayed by %put. For instance,
%put hello \n world
will print the text "hello \n world", but the commands
%put hello
%put world
will result in something as

320 %put hello
hello
321 %put world
world

in the log, but i would like to get rid of in-between lines that echo
the commands.

Thanks in advance.
