I checked it.
The problem is that he has chr(10) (newline) in his data so the output is
truncated.
Using select replace(field,chr(10),'') instead of select field make the
problem go away.
BTW - I also tested doing the replace on numeric fields and it comes out ok.
No need to check if the field type is char.
