Need Help with memo printing on a invoice form

We use a 10 lines memo field and in output format you can give the row,
column height and width. But when you popup memo edit you can type more then
10 lines. 

I would like to Print a separate form just to do the memo printing if the
memo is greater then the 10 lines on our invoice but rarely do we need more
then 10 lines. 

Any thought on this 

any help is greatly appreciated

Denny

 

Denny,

 

It will be easier to print all of the memos on a separate sheet. Set up a
system call to a form that just prints your memo.  If data is present in the
memo field, run the system call using the record # of the record containing
the memo.  You can either build a -v process or use @once processing to get
the record # passed using -r option and reading @pm on a lookup - to get to
the record #.

 

As for doing this if there are 10 line or more, you would have to read the
text into a dummy field and get the actual length of the data in the field
and decide if this will take more than 10 line to print, and then run the
above routine.  

 

I don't remember which function will give you the actual length of the data
in a field rather than the field length.  Someone else may be able to help
you there.  

 

As this has been discussed here on the list in the past, you could check the
archives.
