BIRT 2.5.1

bsteinberg

<p>Hi all,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Very new to the BIRT designer version 2.5.1 (ok, no laughing...its embedded in the BMC ITSM software) and some of the reporting "tips and tricks" I know don't work the same here.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I am trying to create a field that holds values separated by a carriage return:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Department</p>
<p>Location</p>
<p>Address</p>
<p>Attn:  Username</p>
<p>Phone number</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I have tried to use the char(13) and the "\n" and no luck.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>What is the best way to create field that uses multiple variables on different lines of a single text field?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Thanks for any help.  I'll continue to look through the site and web for answers, but oddly its not easy to find.  I do have the BIRT 2.6 Data Analysis and Reporting book by John Ward, but it does not include this tidbit.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Thanks in Advance!</p>
