We recently had a reuirement to automatically insert text into a text field
on separate lines, thus requiring a carridge return at the end of the line.
The only way that we could do this (So Far) was to create a hidden field on
the schema with a CR in it and add this to the end of each line.
This of course uses up space (not much, I admit). Is there a cleaner way to
do it?? We tried looking for a CHR$ function but could not find one.

System

NT 4.0
ARS 3.02
SQL 6

Any Ideas?

Forget my last email. All you need to do is press on the little text
button after the value field and enter something like the following:

"A" + "
" + "B"

Really intuitive isn't it. :-(
