text object formatting

[#1]

Hi,

Just wondering whether or not this is normal ...

I have two text objects with formulas as follows in a report

='test\nformatting\nnew\nline'

and

='test&Chr(13)&Chr(10)&'formatting'&Chr(13)&Chr(10)&'newline'

This displays fine in the designer but when viewed in the ajax client the line breaks are lost. Is there a way to keep line breaks?

Thanks!

Hi

Use following syntax

='aaa' & chr(13) & 'bbb' & chr(13) & 'ccc'

Cheers

Hi Darius,

Thanks for the response. Unfotunately this doesn't work either. It's fine in the Java client (not really helpfull as it's apparently disapearing w/v10).

We're using V9SR1. I guess I'll figure out another way of displaying the information.

Thanks for the help.

Hi ukeen

have you found the solution to this problem?

Hi,

You can use this:

='test ' & Chr(10) & Chr(10) &
'nformatting ' & Chr(10) & Chr(10) &
'nline ' & Chr(10) & Chr(10) &
'nnew ' & Chr(10) & Chr(10)

I think this will solve your problem in Ajax.

Regards,

Ravi

I had the same problem and sadly this solution didn't work for me, would be really keen to see any further ideas

Take a look at this. Here is another way I taught to do it with out using CHR(10) and (13). I have just used the enter key inside the ' '.
