Try using M instead of C(30) for the cursor. -----Original Message----- From: ProfoxTech [mailto:profoxtech-boun...@leafe.com] On Behalf Of Ted Roche Sent: Tuesday, 14 July 2015 3:10 AM To: profoxt...@leafe.com Subject: Re: RTRIM() of cursor data using _VFP.DataToClip() ?
Yet another great idea! VFP 9 SP2-ish (can't recall which HotFixes...) 09.00.0000.5815 on this machine. If I SETVARCHARMAPPING ON and change the field arguments to RTRIM(field) as field, I get VarChar results. Using DataToClip I get... fixed columns widths again, darn. Not what I would have expected. I thought about the TESTMERGE solution, and I do use that in some parts of the app, where the client has to interface with some dedicated hardware that has *WEIRD* formatting rules, but hadn't considered that here. If I can get away with Tracy's solution of hacking at _ClipText, I'll probably stick with it.

Alternatively you could use TEXTMERGE inside a SCAN..ENDSCAN of your result cursor and build the file yourself instead of using DTC. > -- Ted Roche Ted Roche & Associates, LLC http://www.tedroche.com [excessive quoting removed by server] _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/023d01d0bdab$77afc690$670f53b0$@ozemail.com.au ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
