Charles, I have only one more suggestion. You may have already done this but
here it goes:
Have you tried using the old ALT+acsii value, way of entering a ascii value.
For example, you wanted the form feed. So you would make sure number lock is
on, and press and hold ALT and type 012
That would put a character on the screen that is representative of the Form
Feed. Of course you would position your cursor at the point you want the form
feed before typing ALT+012. (Again, 012 on the number pad.)
You said you are using a screen reader, you will have to tell the screen reader
to not listen while typing in the hotkey. Insert + 3 if you are using JAWS,
and then type the hotkey.
If this works, I would probably set the value to a variable and use the
variable in all the places you need it. Otherwise, when you are reading your
code later, you won't know what character is at that exact point.
Anyway, good luck.
HTH.

Unfortunately, the version of SQL supported in Interbase 2007 does not know
about the CHAR() function.
As for
SELECT '
'
My screen reader tells me that "ANSI13" & "ANSI10" have been inserted in the
output. I tried to get a form feed in the output by putting Ansi12 between the
apostrophes, but that does not add anything to the output.
Thanks,
Charles

RE: An SQL 92 question
Charles,
I am not sure the method you posted is giving you a carriage return, or just
giving you a whole bunch of spaces that push you to the next line.
CHAR(13) is carriage return
CHAR(10) is Line Feed.
You may be able to concatinate these two values into the string, but I think it
depends on where the result set will be used to know if it will appear
correctly for you.
So something like the following may work for you. I wrote this up in SQL
Server 2000, so you may have to tweak the syntax if you get an error.
SELECT 'Line One' + CHAR(13) + CHAR(10) + 'Line 2'
HTH.

Subject: An SQL 92 question
Just a quick SQL question:
I am using Borland's Interbase which apparently implements a subset of SQL-92.
I am trying to have the output contain certain control characters (for
formatting). Interbase has a user_defined function called ASCII_CHAR(), but
that apparently cannot be used in the SELECT clause.
I discovered that I can insert CRLFs by doing:
Select '
'
But I cannot figure out how to insert form feeds.
Thanks for the help.
Regards,
Charles Davis
