The accented y is character 253 from the ASCII Latin 1 character set so this is what I would expect. Are you sure that you need value marks? Most packages I have come across use field marks for the line separator in which case you need char(254). Martin Phillips, Ladybridge Systems. |

In Linux the separator is char(10) (line feed). Have you tried that? |
Example of MV/Outlook integration here:

remove the remove

I tried 13 and 10, it must be something inside of VIA that is throwing it off. Tony wrote: CRLF would be used for Outlook: CHAR(13):CHAR(10) |
Can you give us an idea of what tools you're using and how you're
using them? Unless you're doing HTML emails, setting CRLF to separate
lines in your email is your goal. It's possible that some
communications product would translate CRLF into something as directed
by an Option setting. I doubt this is the case. Before the
transmission, did you do something like this?:
BODY = SWAP(BODY,@VM,CHAR(13):CHAR(10))
Also, for MANY reasons that have been cited in Outlook related forums
and Microsoft KnowledgeBase articles, you need to be VERY careful
about using Outlook as a server rather than as a user interface for a
user sitting at the PC. I've been doing this sort of thing for years
and for some projects I'm hesitent to interface to Outlook unless I'm
sure I understand the client's environment - and that the client
understands the considerations of the technology. If you aren't aware
of these issues, you will find your application just stops without
warning, perhaps locking up both the PC running Outlook and the DBMS
port attempting the interface.
Good luck,
