The ; is old xBase shorthand for a linefeed, iirc.

Happy B-day!

Subject: Re: FRX2ANY Freezing - Problem Solved

The first was a syntax error that frx2any picked up but the standard report 
writer allowed it.  So it was not initiating because of the syntax error.  Here 
is the value that was being printed in one of the report fields:

     customer.name; customer.address; customer.city + ',' + customer.zip  which 
the report writer allowed

     customer.name + chr(13) + customer.address + chr(13) + customer.city + ',' 
+ customer.zip  cleared the syntax error

It still hung up and here is what I found:

They have a report form procedure that calls REPORT FORM &prform TO PRINTER 
PROMPT PREVIEW.  They call this procedure with "MYREPORT.FRX NEXT 1"  IOW they 
call the report with the scope. Works fine but when printing to frx2any there 
was no scope clause because I was not aware of this fact.  So frx2any was 
hanging because it was creating a PDF for about 300,000 records.  I set the 
scope to the current record and it worked fine.

Today is my birthday, so this solution was my birthday present to myself!

May all of your challenges be as exciting.

Jeff
