How to Insert a Linefeed in a Report Expression

• Microsoft FoxPro for Windows, versions 2.5, 2.5a, and 2.5b
• Microsoft FoxPro for MS-DOS, versions 2.0, 2.5, 2.5a, and 2.5b

SUMMARY

When you insert a semicolon (;) in a report expression, any information following the semicolon will be placed on the next line. However, the way in which you insert the semicolon in the report expression depends on whether you are using FoxPro for MS-DOS or FoxPro for Windows.

MORE INFORMATION

In FoxPro for MS-DOS, to place the field COMPANY in the CUSTOMER database on the next line, you would type the report expression as follows:

   CNO + ";" + COMPANY

In FoxPro for Windows, make sure that the Top -- Field Can Stretch option is selected. The same report expression would look like this:

   CNO ; COMPANY

NOTE: This expression will cause a "Syntax Error" when the Verify button is chosen.

In FoxPro for Windows, you can also use the "CNO + CHR(13) + COMPANY" expression in place of the semicolon in the report expression box.
