Special Character
Syntax: SET LINEEND = value
DOS Default: þ [Alt]+[0254]
Windows Default: ^
You can set an end of line ASCII character for NOTE and TEXT fields in forms, reports and the Data Browser. When you insert the character in those fields and then zoom in by pressing [SHIFT]+[F2] or print a report, you see lines break as established by the line end character. The default character for R:BASE database that migrated over the years from DOS versions is þ, the ASCII value 0254. The default character for R:BASE for Windows is the carat (^).
Note: If the line end character has been set to the currency character, R:BASE changes it to ASCII value 0254 when you connect to a database.
