    Thanks.
    But this is not a problem to add in forum. The simple way is two DECLARE
    DECLARE @x BIT=0
    DECLARE @r VARCHAR(MAX)
      ='
    -------- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ----

    Hi @tco,

    I'm not sure whether it's partly the formatting of the forum or not that has affected the format you've shown, but what would you like this to look like?  I think the data line is always going to be an issue, but depending on the options used, I can get this to look like:
    DECLARE
    @x BIT = 0
   ,@r VARCHAR(MAX) = '
-------- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ----  
 ';

    Which is more orderly at the least, but may or may not be what you are looking for.  If you could share a screenshot of what you are hoping it would look like then I could help try to get it to that format.

    Kind regards,

    By my mind:
    DECLARE @x BIT  =0
           ,@r VARCHAR(MAX) ='
    -------- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ----

    Hi @tco,

    I'm attaching a style that accomplishes this, though it may have an effect on the format of other things that you do not want - namely because getting the first item after the declare on the same line is a global option in the Lists > List items section.

    I've had to add the .txt extension, but please remove this and place the file into your
    %LocalAppData%\Red Gate\SQL Prompt 9\StylesV2

    folder, then open the SQL Prompt > Edit Formatting styles window to be able to choose ABTestStyle.

    If that doesn't meet your requirement and/or has adverse impact on other parts of your queries, please add a suggestion to the SQL Prompt Uservoice forum for more specific functionality for your example.

    Kind regards,
