  Hello kaju74,
  
  the report variable expects an expression as value. #10 or #13 are not part of a valid expression as you can test by using the edit function of the variable in FR3.
  
  What you could do, is to define a symbol which is not part of your string, but should represent the linebreak. Let's use a $ as example.
  
  In Delphi you write then:
  

  frxRepRechnung.Variables['RepName'] := QuotedStr('Hello1$Hello2$Hello3');
  

  
  And in your report you use a memo with the following code:

  procedure Memo11OnBeforePrint(Sender: TfrxComponent);
  var
     posi   : Integer;
     output : String;
  begin
     output := <RepName>;
     posi := Pos('$',output);
     while posi > 0 do
     begin
         Memo11.Text := Memo11.Text +Copy(output,1,posi-1)+#10#13;
         Delete(output,1,posi);
         posi := Pos('$',output);
     end;
     Memo11.Text := Memo11.Text +output;
  end;
  

  
  That should work for you.

  Hi...
  
  Thank you for answering. Well, this is a liltte bit circuitous but should work 8-)) Are there NO special characters (like \N) to solve this while writting...? If not, maybe that's a little improvement for FR4

  Try this:
  

  repEngine.Variables['HEADER'] := 'Line1'#13#10'Line2';
