User the "\n" sequence to insert newlines in a string.
How are you communicating with SQLServer? You should be aware that using native http has security consequences. So does allowing dynamic sql. You would do better to use a server side process to integrate with the database.

I have to embed my SQL within Flex until I can work out how to call a SQLServer proc from within Flex (any pointers here would be much appreciated), and am writing functions: private function sel_mrkt_pln_yrs(p_string:String = null):String{ var sqlString:String = "select distinct issue_yr, cast(issue_yr as Int) as ID from MKT_PLN where (case when " + p_string + " is not null then case when mkt_pln_typ = " + p_string + " then 1 end else 1 end) = 1 order by 1 desc;"; return sqlString; } I would like to format the SQL so I can read it: select distinct issue_yr, cast(issue_yr as Int) as ID from MKT_PLN where (case when @p_mkt_pln_typ is not null then case when mkt_pln_typ = @p_mkt_pln_typ then 1 end else 1 end) = 1 order by 1 desc; but var sqlString:String = ... will not take the separate lines etc. How are people doing this? TIA, Mic.
