I used to wonder why z/OS and Windows people are different, now I understand - this question helps in that direction a bit more!  |

what does that have to do with a line break?
you are not being very clear with your question.
you are providing us with no information.
spend 2 minutes and describe what you are doing and what results you expect. |

please specify "the text".
Are we talking about content within a CLOB or a VARCHAR ?
UNICODE/EBCDIC ?
Embedding x'0A' in a unicode CLOB or varchar constitutes a NewLine. Whether it will be displayed as a new line depends on your output platform/tool. |

The column is of type varchar
sample text is below. lines should be aligned as below
[For rolling or seasonal covenants:]
• [From dd/mm/yy to dd/mm/yy, required ratio is #(insert amount):1]
• [From dd/mm/yy to dd/mm/yy, required ratio is #(insert amount):1]
• [From dd/mm/yy to dd/mm/yy, required ratio is #(insert amount):1]
• [From dd/mm/yy to dd/mm/yy, required ratio is #(insert amount):1]
GUI we are using is VC++
I have tried with embedding x'0A' but still it is not working. |

the chances of getting help on a mainframe/zOS forum for VC++ things are pretty slim. |

Sandhya,
If I remember my 'C' correctly, in order to get a line break you need Carriage Return along with Line Feed .
The problem I see here is the Line Feed in ASCII is x'0A' but in EBCDIC it is x'25'. Hex code for CR is same in EBCDIC as well as ASCII, x'0D'.
You can download the EBCDIC chart from the downloads link at the top of this page to confirm.
Please give this a try and let us know if it works. |
