Hi,

Can anybody tell me how to insert a CRLF in TSQL??? I am importing some data from a legacy system into what will be a notes field and I need to ensure that the entries are formatted with a new line between each.

Thanks

char(10) + char(13)

or just
'
'


==========================================
Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.
DTS can be used in a similar way.

Actually it's char(13) + char(10), although the other way might work, you may get strange results.

Yes, I actually lied (not deliberately - Honest ) the first time I ran the modified SP, I viewed the data in the app and saw box looking characters (sorry I dont know the proper names - if they have proper names) because it was lfcr and not crlf, but anyway, once I knew the approach, it was not a problem.
