Larry,
If you browse to the VarChar field and copy the contents of a field, then paste
the contents into a text editor that displays the ASCII or HEX value for the
TEXT of the VarChar, what represents the CrLf value..
Before you chase the Control as the issue, be sure the data contains the
correct values.
If no Editor like that then this might substitute:
SELECT YourVarCharData INTO vcmd IND vin0 FROM +
YourVarCharFieldTable WHERE VarCharFieldPKFieldName = 'SomeUniqueValue'
SET VAR vlen = (SLEN(.vcmd))
SET VAR vsp TEXT = (CHAR(20))
SET VAR vasctxt TEXT = NULL
IF vlen > 0 THEN
SET VAR vcount INTEGER = 1
OUTPUT result.txt
WHILE vcount <> .vlen THEN
SET VAR vasctxt = (CTXT((ICHAR((SGET(.vcmd,1,.vcount))))))
-- either of the following writes depending ?
WRITE .vasctxt .vsp continue
--WRITE .vasctxt
SET VAR vcount = (.vcount + 1)
ENDWHILE
ENDIF
OUTPUT SCREEN
RETURN
