Display record horizontally

Hi dear,
I am trying to print tha data in horizonatl fashion in crystalreport.
for that I have written folowing code .
when i am using this code i am getting the complile error that is "Remaining code is not part of the formula"

looking at this code ,I am not sure this will give me proper output because everytime my x and p variable will reset to null and I will get the single value in the x variable.
I want to know that is there any static variable where i can stored the value.

any body out there can give the proper solution is very well appreciated.

stringvar x:="";
stringvar p:="";
p := {MKT_PROCToSell_Sub.shade};

if x = "" then
x:= p ;
else
x:= x + p ;

blue :confused:

thanks in advance,

VB Code:

if x = "" then
x:= p ;  '<---Remove the semicolon to get rid of the error
else
x:= x + p ;
