Interactive Report: how can I display carriage returns?
DanieleTJun 19 2012 — edited Jun 20 2012Hello everybody.
Here is my problem: I created a table containing a field COMMENT varchar2(4000) and using APEX 4.1 I built an interactive report on it.
Users can fill the field COMMENT with sentences on different rows, ex:
" this is the first line
this is the second line
this is the third line"
This is correctly managed in the FORM, where I defined the field COMMENT as 'Text Area', but in the REPORT I wasn't able to set it in a way which permits to see it whit the carriage returns: the content is displayed on one row only : "this is the first linethis is the second linethis is the third line".
I tried and set all the possible field types, but I found no ways to display the content exactly as it is (with carriage returns).
Obviously I cannot use HTML
, since I cannot ask users to digit it when inserting their text.
Could someone suggest me how to reach this result? In need to use the interactive report because the searching/filtering tool is fundamental.
Thanks in advance,
Daniele
