Carriage Returns / Line Breaks & PDF

I have a requirement to display a customers address in 1 column of a PDF report.
The address is stored in the RPD as Address1, Address2, etc. etc.
I use the answer of the question "Carriage Returns / Line Breaks" as a basic startup.
( Question Registered the 02/24/10 from user12673225 )
I get a great result in the HTML report.
But, when I print the report in PDF the HTML control codes appear in the PDF report.
e.g.
LTHEA A | P.O. BOX 877 *<br* | KY | VERNON A 100000479 |
VERNON | /> GRAND...........|....|.............................|
...........| CAYMAN.............|....|.............................|
...........| KY1-1103 *<br*......|....|.............................|
...........| /> CAYMAN.........|....|.............................|
...........| ISLANDS.............|....|.............................|
Presently I generate the report in HTML then I convert it in PDF format.
Is there a way to print the report directly in PDF without the html control appearing in clear in the pdf file. Is is possible to do the job in one step only?

Hi Will,
The [ instead of < does not work.
The character "[" is not recognized as an HTLM control code.
It worth the try.
Thanks
Gilles.

Carriage Returns / Line Breaks

I have a requirement to display a customers address in 1 column of a report. The address is stored in the RPD as Address1, Address2, etc. etc. Can I create a formula that concatenates the address fields and puts a line break, carriage return after each field?

Hi,
I had the same problem as member "user12673225". This worked well if I print the file in HTML, but when I print the file in PDF, the HTML control code appear in the PDF report.
e.g.
LTHEA A | P.O. BOX 877 *<br* | KY | VERNON A 100000479 |

Read Only TextAreas with Carriage Return, Line Breaks and Word Wrapping

Hi all,
I know there are a few posts around this subject but I cannot find the answer to the exact problem I have.
I have a page that has a 'TextArea with Character Counter' (4000 Chars) that is conditionally read only based on the users credentials (using the 'Read Only' attributes of the TextArea item).
When the field is editable (not Read Only) everything works fine but when I make the field Read Only I start to have problems:
The first problem is that the Carriage Return and Line Breaks are ignored and the text becomes one continuos block. I have managed to fix this by adding pre and post element text of pre and /pre tags. This has made the Carriage Return and Line Breaks word nicely and dispaly correctly.
However, it has introduced a second problem. Long lines, with no Carriage Returns or Line Breaks, now extend to the far right of the page with no word wrapping, making my page potentially 4000+ characters wide.
How can I get the field to be display only, with recognised Carriage Returns and Line Breaks, and Word Wrapping inside a fixed width of, say, 150 characters?
Many thanks,
Martin

Hi,
Just a cut and paste of yours with the field name changed:
htp.p('<script>');
htp.p('$x("P3_COMMENTS").readonly=true;');
htp.p('</script>');I also have the following in the page HTML Header, could they be conflicting?
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript">
function setReleaseToProd(wpTypeCode){
//setReleaseToProd($v(this))
var get = new htmldb_Get(null,$v('pFlowId'),'APPLICATION_PROCESS=set_release_to_prod',0);
get.addParam('x01',wpTypeCode);
gReturn = get.get();
if(gReturn) {
$s('P3_RELEASE_TO_PROD',gReturn);
get = null;
</script>I am a long way from knowing much about Javascript (this page code was written by someone else) so all help is much appreciated.

RTF Template - Multiple Groups, carriage returns/line breaks

Hello - I developed an .RTF Word template with multiple groups. What I want to do is suppress a group heading and the associated new line generated for that group if the group value is blank. I tried IF statements, but I still see extra white lines in my output. Any idea? I also tried putting NO carriage returns in the Word template, and that didn't work.

You can use a filter at the group level to check if the group value is blank..
Something like this example: <?for-each-group:./Listofcity/city[./CityName !=''];CityName?>
Provide information about your data structure/xml if you need the exact syntax.
Thanks,

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.

How do we remove Carriage Return (line feed) inserted in FCC files

Hi Experts,
The file that we generate has a carriage return at the end.
Is there any way in which we can remove this carriage return (line feed) from the file?
The FCC parameters used at our end are as below:
structure.filedNames:
structure.fieldFixedLengths:
structure.fixedLengthTooShortHandling: Cut
Kindly tell us a solution ASAP.
Thanks & Regards
Dhwani

Dear All,
Let me elaborate on my query
Consider that the files output looks like below:
12 34 45 545 5454 UL
23 33 43 434 4545 FG
45 44 44 586 6535 GM
Now there is an extra line(Carriage Return) getting inserted after the last line 45 44 44 586 6535 GM which is not required at our end.
The cursor of the file instead of stopping on the last character M, points to the next line.
Can you please suggest how to remove this extra line from the files.
I dont understan how will remove context help in this case.
Regards
Dhwani

XI: Remove Carriage Return +Line Feed at end of XML

Hi All,
Scenario
Currently, we have a JMS --> XI --> IDOC scenario. The Sender Service always sends a CRLF (Carriage Return & Line Feed+) without fail at the end of each xml file once this non-sap system finishes its transaction.
Example
<STARTOFXML>
Data------
</ENDOFXML>CR+LF
Question
Is it possible to remove this from XI JMS Sender Adapter? From the receiver Service (JMS) this is possible.
Cheers!
Sulaiman

Why do you want to remove this? Does this lead to errors?
Regards
Stefan

Carriage Returns, Line Feeds, and Tabs in Text Area

I am having users copy and paste data from an Excel spreadsheet into a textarea on a BSP page. When they submit this, since there are tabs and line feeds in the data, the BSP does not recognize the data. The value in the field comes through as blank. When I manually type something into this field, with out any carriage returns, tabs, etc., the value does not come through as blank? Does anybody know how to get around this?

HI
Iam uploading the data from application server(AL11) to other server.
In the GLPCA-SGTXT(Table) iam having some text like 'This is good ##'.i was downloded some other data with this text('This is good ##') by using report program in to aplicationserver(AL11) and from there iam uploading that data into other server.
But here the problem is in the UNIX, it was showing some problem.
That is actually it need to show the format like:
001 256 786 This is good## 459786
But here it was showing like:
001 256 786 This is good^M
459786
So here '459786' is coming to next line. But i need this '459786' also in the same line.
I am not sure if it is possible to remove CR and LF's using the code the program is written in, but that is what we need to do. In Unix ^M is the CR (Carriage return), but I am not sure what LF is?

Carriage Returns & Line Feeds in XML documents

Does anyone know why the PL/SQL XML parser will NOT work with Carriage Returns (0x0D) within the XML document?
Currently I'm having to strip them out, leaving just the Line Feed (0x0A).
I only realised this after looking at the family.xml example document.

Need help on carriage return / line feed...

Hi,
I have a variable defined for a new line, e.g. <CFSET
NewLine = "#chr(13)##chr(10)#">, that I use as a break between
lines of text within CFMAIL.
<CFSET Message = NewLine & "Product Name: " &
Trim(GetProduct.ProductName) & NewLine>
<CFSET Message = Message & "Product Description: "
& Trim(GetProduct.ProductDesc) & NewLine>
<CFSET Message = Message & "Product Color: " &
Trim(GetProduct.ProductColor) & NewLine>
<CFMAIL FROM="[email protected]"
TO="[email protected]" SUBJECT="Product
Info">#Message#</CFMAIL>
If the email is sent to and open up in Microsoft Outlook
account (mailbox), the "Product Description" line of text would
stay on the same line as the Product Name (when
LEN(GetProduct.ProductName) > 50). In other words, the NewLine
variable is not doing the break. The code works with yahoo or
hotmail account though.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

The trick is to add 3 blank spaces (" " ) at the end of each
line but before the break (NewLine) such as these:
<CFSET NewLine = "#chr(13)##chr(10)#">
<CFSET Message = NewLine & "Product Name: " &
Trim(GetProduct.ProductName) & " " & NewLine>
<CFSET Message = Message & "Product Description: "
& Trim(GetProduct.ProductDesc) & " " & NewLine>
<CFSET Message = Message & "Product Color: " &
Trim(GetProduct.ProductColor) & NewLine>
<CFMAIL FROM="[email protected]"
TO="[email protected]" SUBJECT="Product
Info">#Message#</CFMAIL>

How to insert a carriage return/line feed in a TextEdit without using wrap

Hi,
The string that I want to pass to the textedit is
"Order Notes : bla bla bla
Shipping notes : bla bla bla"
The length of Order notes and shipping notes can vary.
I am using wrapping. But I need to insert a line feed just before Shipping Notes so it comes on a different line inside the textedit box.
How do I achieve this?
Thanks in advance,
Sachin

Good thinking, Craig
I didn't think of this large textarea being present there, just waiting for a question like this ...
To sum it up for the lazy ones (cause looking at the examples is always worth it, so go do as Craig told ya g!):
CONCATENATE
`Order Notes : bla bla bla`
`Shipping notes : bla bla bla`
INTO text SEPARATED BY cl_abap_char_utilities=>cr_lf.

How to insert a Carriage Return + Line Feed inside a TextView UI element ?

Hello All,
Does anyone know how can I achieve the above scenario ? I have a string variable that collects and appeneds text messages from various BAPI calls. At the end of the process, the contents of this variable will be mapped to a textview. Problem is, the length of the string collected is way too long and hence not very readable. I am not able to find a way to introduce a CRLF after each message is read and appended. Can anyone advise ? Thank you.

Hi Renjith,
So far I manage to get find a walk-around to the problem by using the TextEdit as what you have suggested. This works fine... till when you try to print it out. As you see, during printing, I need to remove the vertical scrollbar and ensure that all the text are properly displayed and I do not see any visibleFooter = false option (similar to that of a table) available to the TextEdit.
If anyone has any suggestions or a more feasible walk around that allows me to print the entire contents in the TextEdit, that will be greatly appreciated

Can I preserve carriage returns in a string variable from SQL Server?

I have an OLE data source that pulls data from sql server via a SELECT query. One of the fields is an NVARCHAR(max) which goes into a string variable which is later used in an expression. I am noticing that in the expression, carriage returns
/ line breaks in this field are being lost. Does anyone know how I can preserve these in the expression?

Thanks everyone for the suggestions. I am certain there are both \r and \n in the database as when I print the field and then copy/paste to textedit to show the hidden characters, I can see both the CR and LF's.
I have implemented a workaround that is by no means elegant, but it gets the job done.
I found that \r and \n will evaluate in an expression but if they are part of another string variable, SSIS escapes them. My workaround was to change my OLE_DB select statement (which fetches the custom SQL query) to explicitly change the hidden characters
to '\r' and '\n' respectively:
SELECT REPLACE(REPLACE([CUSTOM_SQL],char(13),'\r'),char(10),'\n')
Then, in my SSIS expression, I de-escaped these characters:
REPLACE(REPLACE(@[User::vAlertCustomSQL],"\\r","\r"),"\\n","\n")
Now when the expression is executed, the SQL is formatted correctly and oddly placed comments in the query no longer break the query.

Textarea formatting for carriage returns

Hi all,
I've created a websheet that includes a textarea column and have found that while any text entered in edit mode displays a carriage return, as soon as the data has been entered and the field returns to read-only mode the carriage returns are not retained . . . all of the content is displayed in one continuous string. Is there a way to accomplish this?
Note: Using APEX v4
Thanks.

* The TextArea control uses UNIX-style line endings, which
means that text data containing Windows-style carriage-return
line-feed (that is, \r\n) formatting for new lines contain extra
line breaks. You can use String.replace() with a regular expression
to convert the text to UNIX-style line endings, as the following
example shows:
private static const windowsCRLF:RegExp = /\r\n/gm;
myTextString = myTextString.replace(windowsCRLF, "\n");

How to avoid starting a page with line breaks?

Hello. I've just started to refine my Master's thesis and some of the topics moved up and down as I edited their contents. The problem is that in some cases the topic breaks right after the title, and the rest of the contents just move away to another page. Is there any way to avoid starting a page with line breaks or broken topics?

At the end of your title, you didn't inserted a line break but a paragraph break (carriage return).
Acivate the mode "Show hidden characters"
Select the carriage return (paragraph break)
Delete it
Press Shift + return to insert a true line break.
It may be useful to apply that several times if you inserted several carriage returns between the title and the first filled line.
