ACE WORDWRAP Madness
Posted in 1994
Topics: General Discussion
Hello All.
I'm attempting to generate a report that has 2 columns that need to
be WORDWRAP'd. The report should look something like this:
Item # Item Name Description 1 Description 2
------ --------- ------------- -------------
1 AAAAA This is a sample This is a sample
description for description for
the desc 1 field. the desc 2 field.
It instead looks like this:
Item # Item Name Description 1 Description 2
------ --------- ------------- -------------
1 AAAAA This is a sample
description for
the desc 1 field.
This is a sample
description for
the desc 2 field.
This is not acceptable. The ACE code used to produce this report
is something like:
SELECT item_num, item_name, desc1, desc2
FROM my_table
END
PAGE HEADER
PRINT "Item # Item Name Description 1 Description 2"
PRINT "------ --------- ------------- -------------"
ON EVERY LINE
PRINT COLUMN 1, item_num USING "######",
COLUMN 9, item_name,
COLUMN 23, desc1 wordwrap right margin 40
COLUMN 42, desc2 wordwrap right margin 65
Is there any simple way to fix this problem or is this just one of ACE's
little "Features"... :^)
Chris
