Can anyone tell me if there is an equivalent of the split character option from proc report in proc tabulate to break header labels at predefined characters in proc tabulate?

For example, in proc report you could write something like proc report data=mydata split="*"; and then when you specified a column header as "This is*my column*header" the column would appears as follows:

This is
my column

header

Thanks for your help.
