[CLOSED] FRL spliting line after 120 characters
We are converting Focus reports written for HP UX to Webfocus on Linux and we noticed the following issue
Text Labels in FRL that have fields that are placed in position of more than 120 characters are split to the next line
Just Fields are displayed correctly
See below example
This is not happening in Focus for Unix
and when changing the FOR to BY command with SUBHEAD the lines were displayed correctly
I also tried to use <+ but still the lines were split after 120 characters
Setting PANEL , WIDTH to 133 also didn't help
also FILDEF OFFLINE to LRECL 133 also didn't help
The only solution I could find was to use blanks to position the fields at the proper place

Any other idea what is causing it and how to fix it

Example
The TOTALS and CHARGES listed below are split to a different line

FOR SORTP
"TOTAL VOICE - VALID NOT CANCELLED USAGES" OVER
"----------------------------------------" OVER
"<24 NUMBER OF <36 USAGE <50 DUR IN <69 TOLL <83 TOLL DUR
<95 AC <107 TAXES <123 TOTAL" OVER
-*--------CH#69954.1-------
"<24 USAGES <36 CHARGES <50 MIN <69 CHARGES <83 IN MIN
<95 CHARGES <123 CHARGES" OVER
"<24 --------- <36 ----------- < 50 ---------------- <69 -----------
<83 -------- <95 ---------- <107 ------------ <123 ----------" OVER
HOMEVVN LABEL H1 AS 'HOME MSG' OVER
