Re: WRDWRAP and Blank Lines

Did you check the data in the file or wherever you stored it? WRDWRAP
formats the data on OUTPUT, not on INPUT. It may be stored correctly and
displayed oddly. Or stop the program in debug after reading the screen and
see what value the variable holds.
Or, stop using WRDWRAP. WRDWRAP does the formatting -- if you want no
formatting, don't use it.

With WRDWRAP, simply type your text (without regard to line breaks).
The next time the screen is written, the wordwrap function pretties it

Subject: WRDWRAP and Blank Lines

Pardon me if there is a simple solution to this, but I have only used
WRDWRAP a couple of times and the last time was 5+ years ago.

Scenario:

I have a field on a screen defined as 700A with CNTFLD(70) and WRDWRAP.
I key some text on the first line on the screen and then press the space
bar until the cursor reaches the beginning of the third 70 character
line. I key some more text and then save the keyed value to a file. I
come back into this screen to view what I just keyed and saved and the
second line (which I spaced through before) is gone and the text from
the third line is moved up to the second line.

Is there any way to have the text saved the way it was keyed and not
remove blank lines?
