[RESOLVED] Carriage retuns causing strange indentation

I have 'fixed' the problem. I put a 30 character 'buffer' at the end of the text string so WF thinks the last value is large and right justifies properly. It adds a blank line to the end of the reprot, but that is not a problem.


I have a procedure where an application is passing me a text string with a carriage return (^) between the fields like;

A^B^DDD^HHH^RRR^0^0^0

So it prints on the report like:

A
B
DDD
HHH
RRR
0
0
0


If I left justify the field it prints fine, but if I right justify the field and the last 8 to 10 values (separated by the carriage return sign "^") are small values (i.e less than 8 characters), then the report prints the last 4 - 5 values with staggered indentiations like:

A
B
DDD
HHH
RRR
0
0
0

Can anyone explain why?

NOTE: The right justified report looks like (ignore the quote marks):

" A"
" B"
" DDD"
"HHH "
" RRR "
" 0 "
" 0 "
" 0 "
