select (display) problem

I have a problem with one of the tables I am trying to move to another database. The one field in the table is a char(30), and when I unload it, I get this value in the unload file (the example is 1 column only, which contains a pipe and carriage return): HOSPITAL|emergency^M\\ When I select this record in dbaccess or isql, only the word "HOSPITAL" is displayed on the screen. Why does the full value not display on the screen during the select ?
