Hi Robert,

 

Although Tim might be able to help better than me. To insert a tab in a
report variable, treat it like a string, ie delimit it with double or single
quotes, and in between them hold the ALT key down and whilst it is down type
009 on the numeric keypad then lift the Alt key, you should see a small
circle character inserted. You can also enter these in the report itself, of
course without the quotes, so for example if you are writing a tab delimited
export.

You would select a field, then ALT-009, next field, then Alt-009 etc etc

 

In regards to printing, if it is not using DPSpool then you need to consult
your printer reference manual for the particular codes. 

 

Regards

Brian

Subject: [Dataperf] DPSpool: Printer codes in variables

 

These may be a questions for Tim Rude, but maybe someone else knows (or
would like to know):

 

   1. How do I insert tabs in a report variable? 

   2. Can I specify a font in the print control variable? In a report
variable?

 

Thanks,

Robert Kendall
