Creating a text file

edited November 2005 in Devices
I have a report with several TppLabels that I set the values at runtime.
I need each TppLabel to appear on a seperate line in a text file. I
can output to the text file in the correct order. I have each TppLabel
on a seperate line in the report designer but it does not go to the text
file in this format. How can I make each TppLabel go to a seperate line
in a text file?

Thanks

Ray

    Hi Ray,

    Are you printing to a TextFile or a Report Emulation TextFile? A TextFile
    will only separate each value in a band by the chosen delimiter. An
    emulation textfile will try to space each text object exactly the way it
    looks on your report. However, note that text files are measured in lines
    rather than report units. If your text lines in your report are too small
    or close together, the engine may become confused and print two labels on
    the same line.
