I can not find any place on the Internet where CHRW() is explained. I have always used CHR(13) as a Carriage Return in a Crystal Report. We have an array filed that displays a (square) as the dilimiter when we print it frmo the tables. One of our programmers told us that this square that is printing is a carrage return CHRW(21). In the Split command using that as the delimiter worked. But I have no idea why. Can anyone tell me where I can find what CHRW() characters mean. Are they different than ASCII control characters?
I found this comment: In later versions of Crystal Reports, Chr() has been replaced by ChrW() to support the full Unicode character set. It works the same way - supply the ASCII code that you wish to be included in the formula.

shows it but does not give a table or show why Carriage Return is CHRW(21) not CHRW(13)

| I looked up CHRw and Unicode. The basic ascii codes were not changed when Unicode was added. Code 21 is the NAK code (used in communications). I wish I had an answer. |
