ID: Q98702

The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft FoxPro for Windows, versions 2.5 and 2.5a
 * Microsoft FoxPro for MS-DOS, versions 2.0, 2.5, and 2.5a

SUMMARY
The format code &quot;@;&quot; (without the quotation marks) forces a linefeed in an expression in the detail band of a report in FoxPro for MS-DOS; however, this formatting option is ignored in FoxPro for Windows. (Note that the FoxPro for Windows documentation does not list &quot;@;&quot; as an available formatting code in the Report Writer.)

MORE INFORMATION
When the &quot;@;&quot; format code is used in FoxPro version 2.x for MS-DOS reports, the semicolons in the expression that the format applies to will be replaced with linefeeds.

For example, create a field with the following expression and format:

Expression=&quot;Microsoft;FoxPro&quot; Format=@; NOTE: If you use the @; format on a memo field containing more than 254 characters, the following error message is displayed: String too Long to Fit When this expression is printed in FoxPro for MS-DOS, it appears as follows: Microsoft FoxPro When this expression is printed in FoxPro for Windows, it appears as follows (the code is ignored): Microsoft;FoxPro
