Multiline

When this style is set, the content of the entry-field cannot be scrolled horizontally anymore and is automatically span to multiple lines.

When the Lines property is set to a value greater than 2, this style is implied, unless the CELLS clause is specified or the Height-In-Cells style is set.

The Value of a multiline entry-field is returned as a single string obtained from the concatenation of the multiple lines separated by the character specified by the configuration property iscobol.gui.ef_lineseparator.
