Hello,

I am using Report to generate a text file, but I have a problem, in my PC the report file (plain text) looks OK, but when I run/open it in other PCs, each line that has more than 80 characters long, is spawn into a new line (adding the line feed character to that line)

an example of what is the error like:

this text is the 80 lines. **(OK)
this text is eighty two li **(added LF/CR)
nes.

thanks for your help

LCB
 
I suppose that the problem is in your text editor/viewer. Try to switch off Wrap Line mode. Regards, Dima
 
The error is not in the text editor,

I have seen the file with a HEX editor and I can actually SEE the eol characters at the end of each line in the 80th position...

I guess it's a problem in some kind of variable, but I don't seem to find the error...

 
Does your Main section have sufficient width to hold all fields without expanding? Regards, Dima
