If you want to MANUALLY insert a CR/LF combination you can make a single VAR containing the pair like: Set var vCRLF = ((CHAR(13)) + (CHAR(10))) -- NOTE: You have an extra '+' sign here Set var vmytext text = (.vmytext + .vcr + + .vlf) Sho var .vmytext . . I believe it similar to what you suggest. If I am lucky I will post my results otherwise I will try Razzaks approach.

It have been working so far with 6 other programs, now with 7:th program it does not work. To fix this I need to find out if the write statement adds a linefeed or a carriage return. My program is basically a loop from declare cursor: Out myfile.txt . . . write .vmtext . . out terminal I have always presumed that a linefeed is added at the of the write statement. But now I can't presume I need to knew. But if a carriage return is added I must confess my program is in error and 7:th program is correct and 6 before that are just fault tolerant. Is ithe other way I can demand the 7:th program to be altered. Is ther an editor aviable to Se what charter is added or does someone knew! Advice much appriciated Gunnar Ekblad Kontema IT AB Hästholmsvägen 32 131 30 Nacka Sweden
