Formatting

[Kim Green]

What would cause this format for the output file to result in the error
message "Format not terminated at end of line" :

format OUTPUTFORMAT = 
@<<<<<<<<<<<    ,@<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
,@<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<  ,@<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
$servicename            ,$filename
,$service_type_name                       ,$node_name
.

These values are assigned by an array that gets populated based on a select
statement.
I call it in the body of my code like this: write (OUTPUTFORMAT);

Thanks,
Kim
