I've tested this technique and it works in both examples below...<br>

</font><tt>dwind = 'pow(ugrd_isbl(z-1)-ugrd_isbl,2) + '<br>
'define dwind = 'dwind % 'pow(vgrd_isbl(z-1)-ugrd_isbl,2)'</tt><br>
<br>
<tt>dwind = 'pow(ugrd_isbl(z-1)-ugrd_isbl,2) + '<br>
dwind = dwind % 'pow(vgrd_isbl(z-1)-ugrd_isbl,2)'<br>
'define dwind =' dwind</tt><br>

question, too. To my knowledge there is no line
continuation syntax in GrADS. When I have a long
calculation, I break it into parts across several
lines, often including some extra variables.<br>
<br>
Example:<br>
* One line<br>
'define
esat=0.611*pow(10,(7.5*(tmp_isbl-273.15))/(237.3+(tmp_isbl-273.15)))'<br>
<br>
* Several lines. Note "undefines" when we are done
with the temporary values.<br>
'define tmp=(tmp_isbl - 273.15)'<br>
'define a = pow(10, (7.5 * tmp) / (237.3 + tmp))'<br>
'define esat = 0.611 * a'<br>
'undefine tmp'<br>
'undefine a'<br>
<br>
Hope this helps. Good luck.<br>

<div dir="ltr"> hello to all.<br>
<br>
My question may be a little ...dumb, but i'm stuck!<br>
How can i continue a big expression (eg a sum) to the
next line?<br>
And as a secondary question: is there a maximum
character length for GrADS scripts?<br>
<br>
Thank you all.<br>
