RE: [sqr-users] Encapsulate with Double-Quotes

["the dragon" <ceprn@hotmail.com>]

Rich, my advice:

Slap the users and tell them they'll use quotes, or get on THE LIST of 
"Bastard Sysadm From Hell"....  Time to put some fear into the users and 
quit coddling them...

:-p

hee hee hee

peace,

PS. If you're too young or not geeky enough to remember "The Bastard 
Operator Fron Hell", you can read about his amusing exploits here:

PSA: Salary <> Slavery.  If you earn a salary, your employer is renting your 
services for 40 hours a week, not purchasing your soul.  Your time is the 
only real finite asset that you have, and once used it can never be 
recovered, so don't waste it by giving it away.

"Time is the coin of your life. It is the only coin you have, and only you 
can determine how it will be spent.  Be careful lest you let other people 
spend it for you."

Carl Sandburg
(1878 - 1967)

Greetings -

I'm using Brio as my report writer against an Oracle db and an
application using Oracle forms.

When I have my users submit a certain job through the forms, they must
enter certain information. No matter what they type, only the first word
will be captured in the resulting ASCII file.

The forms developer suggested I encapsulate the entries in the forms
with double-quotes. If I make an entry to forms and use double-quotes to
encapsulate the entry, all the narrative is returned to the file.

I've tried to do this in Visual-Sqribe using the following in order to
save some extra demands on the users (remembering to use the quotes) -

move '<34> <34>' to $MethodName
input $MethodName 'Specify Method Name' type=char

This is not working - again only the first word of the narrative is
retruned to file no matter how
loooooooooooooong it might be.

TIA -
