Re: ASCII Control Characters in SQL

Ryan,

IMHO, you're going about this the wrong way. You shouldn't be asking
DB2 or MS SQL server to format the strings for you.

Instead, whatever application is getting the returned data should
handle formatting the strings.

What application are you using to run the DB2 SQL statement?

If STRSQL, for instance, consider using Query Manager (QM) instead.
QM includes a report formatting capability that includes "word wrap"
functionality.

HTH,
Charles

I have a situation where I am using a function to return a formatted group

Does DB2/400 have ASCII control characters SQL commands...or some other way
for me to introduce a CRLF via SQL?  I need to break the string into lines
for readablility.

Thanks
