Hi,
Here is a simple example, I have data as below. In the excel sheet I should get the model in the next line after car within the same cell.
1.Is there a way to concatenate a new line between car and model for field1. That would be my ideal solution.
2.Also is there a way to style car and model differently for Field1.Example bold only car?


 DEFINE FILE CAR
FIELD1/ A100 = CAR| MODEL;
END

TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT
BODYTYPE	
FIELD1
BY COUNTRY
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT EXL2K
END


-EXIT

Is this what you are looking for?
  
SET BYDISPLAY=ON
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT
CAR AS '' OVER
MODEL AS ''
BY COUNTRY
BY BODYTYPE
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT EXL2K
END

WF WORLD, getit wants CAR and MODEL in the same cell. What you did just puts them in the same column.

Think about the problem. How would you do this in EXCEL? Well you would type JAGUAR then press ALT-ENTER (which inserts a Line Feed) followed by typing V12XKE AUTO. So in WebFOCUS just do the same thing.

-SET &LF=HEXBYT(10,'A1');
DEFINE FILE CAR
FIELD1/A100 = '<b>' | CAR || '</b>'|| '&LF' || MODEL;
END

TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT
BODYTYPE	
FIELD1
BY COUNTRY
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT EXL2K
END

Small change to the code:

DEFINE FILE CAR
FIELD1/A100 =  '<b>' || CAR || '</b>' || HEXBYT(10,'A1') || MODEL;
END

TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT
BODYTYPE	
FIELD1
BY COUNTRY
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT EXL2K
END

You're welcome. Not sure why you got an error. The code works fine in 7.6.11. I use this technique a lot. Hope this is not some kind of code tightening in 7.7 and higher.

I believe the solution offered is dependent on HTMLENCODE being SET to OFF, which allows imbedded tags (in column titles and values) to act as hypertext in the generated HTML.

With SET HTMLCODE=ON, carets are "escaped" and will be treated as text rather than hypertext.
