carriage returns in Crystal Reports?

[mjmiller24]

Hello,

I am attempting to write some code where I need carriage returns.

I need something like


str := "7. Something here";
str2 := "See Attached";
field := {db.ID};

str + chr(13) + str2 + chr(13) + field


I have tried the above, but chr(13) just chops off the remainder of the text instead of creating a carriage return.

Can someone help me with this?

well first I assume that str,str2 and Field are defined as stringVar;

I always associate a line-feed with a CR

so your final formula would be

str + chr(13) + chr(10) + str2 + chr(13)+ chr(10) + field


Also make certain that {db.ID} is not NULL before you assign it to Field

eg. if not isnull({db.ID}) then
field := {db.ID}
else
field := " ";

otherwise if there is a Null then your formula will be killed for all not null examples as well

Hope this helps

Jim

Also check to make sure the field is formatted as Can Grow.
