What is the error you are getting.

The <br /> tag inserts a single line break in HTML only - this is not for PDF.

You wish to explain what you're trying to do...

Try using HEXBYT(13,'A1') and HEXBYT(10,'A1') together with TYPE=REPORT,LINEBREAK='CRLF',$.

I will leave you to find out what each of those do because you will learn more if you try, because -

You could also try the classic code...

You could also try something with MARKUP=ON. Thing is that there will be a difference between html and PDF output. But if you just PDF, this will produce a nice result:

DEFINE FILE CAR
SOMECOL/A80 = COUNTRY | '<br>      ' | CAR | '<br>      ' | MODEL;
SPACE/A1 = ' ';
END

TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT SOMECOL AS ''
OVER SPACE AS ''
OVER SPACE AS ''
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT PDF
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
UNITS=CM, PAGESIZE='A4', LEFTMARGIN=0.635000, RIGHTMARGIN=0.635000,
    TOPMARGIN=0.635000, BOTTOMMARGIN=0.635000,
    SQUEEZE=ON,
    ORIENTATION=LANDSCAPE, $
TYPE=REPORT, FONT=ARIAL, SIZE=10, MARKUP=ON, LINEBREAK='CRLF', $
ENDSTYLE
END

True, but charles does not state where the field will be going.
