QUESTION:
I want to print two text fields in a WinPrint2 report. The text needs to be appended to each other but separated by a CR/LF. How do I do that?
ANSWER:
You can move the contents of the text fields to a string variable with the normal string concatenation operator character. So, for example:
Move (Customer.Comments1 * Customer.Comments2) To sText
DFWritePos sText 1.69 iStyle -1 0
To get a CR/LF in between the two text values you can insert a character 13 and a character 10 between the two texts values. The special characters need to be inserted in that order.
So in order to add the first text field, a CR/LF and then the other text field, the above example would have to be changed to:
Move (Customer.Comments1 + Character (13) + Character (10) + Customer.Comments2) To sText
DFWritePos sText 1.69 iStyle -1 0
