Do you mean a vertical line as in a vertical Trend Line, or a Time Line drawing?

We can make trend lines programmatically in MultiCharts (including checking whether there's such a trend line on the chart), but a Time Line can unfortunately not be made nor managed programmatically.

By the way, if you create a trend line with the same time coordinate but with different price coordinates (for instance drawing it between the bar's high and low), and then extend the trend line in both directions, you get a vertical line too.

(Extending a trend line in PowerLanguage is done with the TL_SetExtLeft() and TL_SetExtRight() keywords.)
