[SOLVED] TX Field with Line Breaks

I have a field that is the LONG datatype in the database (Oracle) and I am trying to pull into a report with keeping the Line Breaks. However, when it is pulled in, none of the breaks are kept and it becomes all one paragraph. Below is the field in the master file (TX):

FIELD=AMRPUSR_VALUE, AMRPUSR_VALUE, TX50 ,TX

When I view the field in the actual database using PL/SQL, and I can view it in Text, RTF, HTML, Hex, etc., the breaks are maintained in the Text and the RTF view but not in the HTML view.

Does anyone know of a way to carry those line breaks over into WebFOCUS and be able to incorporate them in a report with a PDF output?
Thank you!

Not sure what is supported with TX fields, but have you tried the LINEBREAK setting in the stylesheet.


You should check to see if it is CRLF or something else.

That worked!! Thank you!

for anyone else having the same problem, I included the following in my stylesheet and the linebreaks came through:

TYPE=REPORT,
LINEBREAK='LF',
