Carriage Return for text area
Hello All,
I have a text area that I am pre-populating from a column in a database and I need to do a carriage return. When inserting the information into the column I put 'chr( 10 )|| chr( 13 )||' after each place where I need to do a carriage return, for some reason it is not being saved in the database that way.
The sql I used to insert the information into the column looks like:
update 456.xyz
set 123 = a || chr( 10 )|| chr( 13 )||
b || chr( 10 )|| chr( 13 )||
c || chr( 10 )|| chr( 13 )||
where abc=def;
I need the output in the text area to be:
a
b
c
But it populates as:
abc
Any help would greatly be appreciated!
I just tested this code:
select 'The date '||sysdate||chr(10)||'is a '||to_char(sysdate, 'DAY')||chr(10)||chr(13)||'Week :'||to_char(sysdate, 'WW') from dual;The output was:
The date 03.06.2010
is a TORSDAG
Week :22I put this in the source of the textarea and set it to update and replace content ( source used always )

Carriage Returns in Message Area
Hi,
I am using a hidden field "P6_SUBMIT_MESSAGE" to store a message that gets generated from a PL/SQL process. I then use the following trick to display that same message in the message area at the top of my page
Process success message
&P6_SUBMIT_MESSAGE.
How can I get carriage returns into this message. I have tried adding chr(10), chr(13) and even '<'br'>' in the PL/SQL process but no luck. If I use chr(13) and my P6_SUBMIT_MESSAGE is a Textarea (not a Hidden field) I can see the desired results in that text area but even then, the carriage returns are not propagated to the message area at the top of the page.
ThanksI know this is not my thread but i just wanted to say, thanks scott! this works! i'm having the same problem as Robert and tried every possible way like he did with the ch(10) and < b r >... but did not realize to change the page item type, i had it as text area also. Now i changed it to display text (does not save state) and used < b r > for carriage return... it works like a charm!
Thanks again,

Carriage Return in Text Node of SmartForm
Hello SAPients.
I'm working with a Text node in a SmartForm. I'm using "Include Text" to call an existing text. The text loads fine except that it doesn't respects the CR's.
What can I do?Hello SAPients!
I'm still having this problem, maybe I didn't explain the problem very well and that's why I didn't get an answer. I hope this information be more helpful:
I'm working in SAP 4.6C. I have a SmartForm with a Text Node that shows "unlimited" text. I created another transaction to maintain this text in a small text editor and save the text using FM SAVE_TEXT and retrieve it using FM READ_TEXT and it shows everything correct.
In the SmartForm I'm taking advantage of the option "Include text" in the Text type of the General Attributes of the text node. The system retrieves the text in a normal way, except that the text is shown without Carriage Return, that is, all the text is show in one single line. Do you know why?
Thank you in advance for your help. -

 in COMIT Tracking" borderVisible="false" toolTip="line one of text line two of text etc etc etc line three of text line 4 of text and on and on" useHandCursor="true" buttonMode="true" editable="false"/>
Thanks.

Disable Return in text area?
Anyone know how to prevent the user from putting carriage
returns or line breaks in the TextArea component? (without checking
all the key input)
Thanks,
ArtIts a multi-line component, so I would think that apart from
extending the standard TextArea to a custom component, you wouldn't
be able to do it, and even in that case I would think you would
need to check user input/keystrokes. -
Print Preview for Text Area in Web UI
Hi,
The notes section has text area in WEB UI. After typing in the text with more than 10 lines, and directly going to browser's print preview is not showing all the text entered. Instead it shows only 5 lines of text. But my client's requirement is to see all the text and take print out. I tried chaning the CSS of THTMLB_STYLES ( thtmlb_stand.css) with the below statement, but it didnt work.
<style>
@media print {
content {
overflow: visible;
</style>
Please suggest a solution.
Thanks

Carriage returns in text box comments
Hi I am new to Acrobat (using Acr
obat Pro 9) and I have found that when I add text to a text box it does not seem to recognise the carria
ge return. It seems to do when I type than when I click out of the box the CRs dissappear.
I have resorted to adding a space which does not seem correct.
Is there a setting somewhere?Whenever you append a line of text to the StringBuffer you also append the newline string for your platform which you can get from the System.getProperty(...) method. For a list of properties, see the getPoperties() method.

Line indicator for text Area??
for my text field , I used ::
TextArea tA01=new TextArea(20,30);
is there anyway or functions or methods that I can use to locate the current position of my blinking cursor ???
thanks....why do you use a TextArea instead of JTextArea?
awt components are heavyweight, and most swing components are lightweight.
awt use the operating system graphic to draw the component (this makes it heavyweight). swing also use the system graphic to draw the component (top level component), but compoents such as JPanel, JButton, JTextArea, etc.. are drawn by the Java application over the toplevel component.
There are severals advantages of using swing.
1. your application gui will be rendered more correctly on different operating system
2. swing have more features that you can use
3. swing have more components -

Sure, sending a BEL character to the console rings the bell, but that has nothing to do with Java. Anyway, I think he meant Java doesn't support the \a escape sequence in string and char literals.

Carriage returns are replaced by blank space in SOAP message.
Hi,

i have a requirement where user can enter details in multiple lines. but by the time when it readched server, the SOAP xml message has changed. all the carriage returns are repalced by a blank space.
Can you please help how to solve this issue.
Thanks
subba.What are your trying to accomplish?
I'm thinking you are trying to get a several 'fields' together as a single 'string'. In which case I'd simply concat the fields together like
SELECT a, b||' '||c ...
to create a single string with "contents of b space contents of c"
If you are trying to get one hundred and one blanks, of make a field 101 characters wide with blank padding, then you want to look in the SQL Reference manual for things like lpad, rpad and trim. -
Carriage return in TextArea Flash component in Director 11
Hello.
I have a very big problem now
Neither embedded Flash movies with textareas or standard flashcomponent TextArea from Director tool pallete do not react on keyboard button "Enter" pressings. There is no carriage return after ENTER button is pressed. The same with End and Home buttons!!
Please help with any advise.
Is that a common bug?
See attached test.dir file. Try to type something in both textareas and then press ENTER button on keyboard. You should realize then what I'm crying about(((
AlexeyI too struggled with this issue. If you're looking for a solution still I have written one. Used the attached script in your Flash document, I spent a few days going back and forth between Director and Flash to figure this one out. Basically what I do is attach a key listener to the movieclip containing the textfield object that on keyDown gets the currently focused textField (this way it will work with multiple textField objects). After that it determines if the enter key is hit and if it is inserts a "/n" break at the selection starting point. The only issue is if you select a whole word in the textField and hit enter a break will be placed at the beginning of the highlighted word and that word will not be deleted. Hopefully this helps.

How can i put three carriage returns (ENTERs) in this script's output?
I have a script like
begin
select tablename list;
dbms_output.put_line(q'[Altering selected tables' datalength]' );
for i in 1..x loop
execute immediate v_sql;
end;While executing this in SQL*Plus, the output currently looks like
Altering selected tables' datalength
ALTER TABLE EMP MODIFY (ENAME VARCHAR2(30 CHAR ))
ALTER TABLE DEPT MODIFY (DEPTNO VARCHAR2(30 CHAR ))
ALTER TABLE ARCHIVE_CNG MODIFY (TMAT_ENABLED CHAR(30 CHAR ))
.But i need three ENTERs (Carriage Returns) after the text Altering selected tables' datalength.
ie the output should look like
Altering selected tables' datalength
ALTER TABLE EMP MODIFY (ENAME VARCHAR2(30 CHAR ))
ALTER TABLE DEPT MODIFY (DEPTNO VARCHAR2(30 CHAR ))
ALTER TABLE ARCHIVE_CNG MODIFY (TRIGGER_ENABLED CHAR(30 CHAR ))
ALTER TABLE ARCHIVE_CONFIG MODIFY (USER_ID VARCHAR2(30 CHAR ))

What is the difference between a carriage return and a newline ? Aren't they both the same?
Edited by: user659394 on May 13, 2009 10:28 AMThey are different characters, one is chr(13) and the other is chr(10). Many editors will treat them the same but by default, when you hit the Enter key on your keyboard the character generated depends on your operating system
Mac chr(13), unix chr(10), windows chr(13)||chr(10)
That's basically the difference between an ascii and a binary transfer between machines with different operating systems. In a binary transfer nothing is changed in the transfer. In an ascii transfer carriage return/newline characters are converted to the default for the operating system.
