Re: Can I Insert CR/LF into data area text?

I ended up writing a small rpg program that builds the data with the crlf
and writes it to the data area. I didn't want to have to do processing on
the data each time I retrieved it as I use it in both cl and rpg programs
and it was easier just to have the dtaara text in the format I want from
the get go.

There are ways to type characters by hex code - I think there is a hex
key you can set in the PC5250 emulator that is used by Access. Now this
might not allow entering non-displayable characters, like CR and LF -
these x'25' and x'0A' in EBCDIC and might need conversion to x'0D' for
CR in ASCII.

It might be better to type in a place marker special value that would
get replaced by the program. Something like @@CRLF.

Is there a way to insert a CF/LF into the text of a data area?

I am using a data area to contain standard text that will be inserted

into

the body of an email for problem reporting. The problem I have is that

the

text is inserted as one stream. Is there a way to type a CR/LF into the
data area text, so that when the email is sent it is formatted better?

In the below code snippet, the EM_DTA field is populated from a data

area.

Message = EM_DTA +
'The image processing received an error while +
validating the ZIP file. The ZIP file with

internal

+
name of ' + %trim(IntZipName) + ' did not contain
the +
expected image ' + %trim(CFFJES) + '. Processing +
was stopped.';
SndGmail(NORM_EMAIL:'Manager':EDI_EMAIL:'EDI Support':
Subject:Message:EmailError);

The EM_DTA data area looks something like this, and is used by the email

recipient to forward the email after review.

I want to have the text look like that in the email, but when I get the
actual email the body looks like this:

TO: customerservice@xxxxxxxx COPY: support@xxxxxxxx,

name@xxxxxxxx

SUBJECT: Transmission issue with XXX (XXXXXXXXX) BODY:

I've tried alt sequences, but I can't seem to find one that gives me a
CR/LF.
