Hello,
I am using Crystal Report 2020 to produce a report that will list the report definition of a set of several Crystal Reports. In order to read each report definition (which are txt files), I am using the Driver: "CR textfile ODBC driver 7.1.6." in which I set the default table type = Stream. And to test the concept, I am starting by reading only one text file/report definition.
As we know, a Crystal Report definition always starts with the following phrase "Crystal Report Professional v14.0 (32-bit) - Report Definition.".
The problem I have is that each record wraps after 65 characters (which happens to be the length of the first phrase present in the Report Definition). I have read that when Crystal Report reads a text file, it is establishing the length of each column by reading the first few records. This lead me to think that the wrapping is base on the number of characters of the 1 row present in my text file ("Crystal Report Professional v14.0 (32-bit) - Report Definition.").
To verify my hypothesis, I replaced the 1st record of one of my text file from "Crystal Report Professional v14.0 (32-bit) - Report Definition." to a 250 characters string. It turned out my hypothesis was correct, the records were no longer wrapped.
Does somebody have ever experienced something like that or have a work-around to suggest?
Thanls 🙂
