I have comment field in .fex is wrapping, but goes into multiple rows. The comment field is Oracle data type "LONG".

Is something I can add to fix this? Tried increasing the wrap setting, but did not make a difference

Here's an excerpt:

ON TABLE SET PAGE-NUM NOLEAD
ON TABLE SET FORMULTIPLE ON
ON TABLE NOTOTAL
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT &WFFMT.(,,).Select type of display output.
ON TABLE SET HTMLCSS ON
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
INCLUDE = endeflt,
$
TYPE=TABFOOTING,
LINE=1,
JUSTIFY=LEFT,
$
TYPE=TABFOOTING,
LINE=1,
OBJECT=TEXT,
ITEM=1,
FONT='ARIAL',
SIZE=9,
STYLE=ITALIC,
$
TYPE=TABFOOTING,
LINE=2,
JUSTIFY=LEFT,
$
TYPE=TABFOOTING,
LINE=2,
OBJECT=TEXT,
ITEM=1,
FONT='ARIAL',
SIZE=9,
STYLE=ITALIC,
$
TYPE=REPORT,
COLUMN=N18,
WRAP=6.000000,

Does your data contain line feed (HEXBYT(10,'A1')) and carriage return(HEXBYT(13,'A1')) characters? As these may be interpreted depending upon the output format.

Search LINEBREAK setting.

I am looking into this. Field type is "LONG" in database.
Coming up as Alphanumeric in .fex.

'multiple rows' is different from 'wrapping'.
you seem to be saying your field is NOT wrapping (in 1 cell), but rather creating multiple cells.
If you make a master file from this table, what does the field format look like?

try this. redefine the field...
DEFINE FILE ...
MYFIELD/A1000 = sourcefield;
END
and see if printing out that MYFIELD will interpret it differently.
If it still comes out in multiple rows, then there is something rotten in denmark.

Or TXnn as Waz asked? If it's a TXnn, then that accounts for the multiple rows (I think).

will do it for you (cause the multi-rows). See F1 Help for more information. For starters, search for "FORMAT attribute" / "Syntax: How to Specify a Text Field in a Master File".
