Re: ACE WORDWRAP Madness

} } 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 } -- } ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ } Chris Hushour Internet: cwh@evolving.com } Evolving Systems Incorporated } Englewood, Colorado } In my experience with WORDWRAP, the only time it worked correctly was when I was wrapping the last column. Hopefully, I'm wrong and someone will show me the error of my ways.
