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!
