Hi Karen,
I've used this method to control, I think, carriage returns in note
fields in the past. On leaving the form I'd convert carriage returns
to tildes, and reverse when editing.
SET D_Message = (SRPL(DuesMessage,(CHAR(13)),'~',0)) +
WHERE SubClass = .vGetClass
Long ago there used to be printer control codes for
superscript/subscript. One to turn it on, another to turn it off. All
characters sent to the printer in between would be subscripted. I
don't know if that is still true today or if they can be passed to
the printer from within the text as then.
Also, thinking about it, you would need two text tags, say ~ to turn
it on and # to turn it off, if it is do-able at all.
Update YourTable SET YourColumn =
(SRPL(NoteField,'~',(CHAR(CodeForSubScript_on)),0)) +
WHERE NoteField is not null
Update YourTable SET YourColumn =
(SRPL(NoteField,'#',(CHAR(CodeForSubScript_off)),0)) +
WHERE NoteField is not null
