help identifying ascii character in string field seperating data
SAP table ODLN has address field which contains address, city zip, country. There appears to be at leat one ascii character between address and city and one ascii cahracter between zip and country. I need to determine what characters these are so I can include the appropriate function in Crystal to print the individual components (address1, City Zip) in the address line print. Need help with the function and syntax. Table is odln.address

As a gues the 2 characters are CR-LF or LF-CR chr(10) and chr(13)
The single is proably LF - chr(10)
The only way to know for sure would be to search the string in Crystal or a VB app.

Here is a Crystal formula that might do it
Local StrijngVar AsciiRep;
Local StringVar MyString;
Local NumberVar i;
MyString := {YourStringField};
For i := 1 to Length(MyString) do
AsciiRep := AsciiRep & CStr(ASC(Mid(MyString,i,1)
AsciiRep
Cut and paste the resukt

made changes see attached file; received error when I ran the function (A variable type 'for eaxmple 'number var', is missing)
Is the syntax correct on the statement?

How would I go about searching the field in Crystal to look for the specific field value as you mentioned earlier which contains some special character or a LF / CR? Please provide example ofthe code.
Where did you put the code?
To simply searcxh create a formula like
InStr({SearchString},chr(1
Put that in the detail sectiion

Mtype on my part too, Should have been typo instead of type

My bad, I fat fingered a change. I found this last night. You were right it is a LF/CR actually two sets between the address line and city state. So how can I fix this?
