Hi Chris,

I use the datawindow SaveAs() function choosing "Excel8 with Headers" type

I try with these versions:

  1. Powerbuilder version 2017 Build 1666
  2. Windows 10
  3. Office 2016

but I also tried with different versions and it works the same.

It ignores CR-LF and put the text all in a line.

 

I give a look to Your example "saveas_excel" using OLE, but i see that CR-LF are removed

before exporting into the Excel file, so it is not useful for me.

 

 

Thanks in advance for Your help.

Mario

Hi Mario;

  Can you tell us ...

  1. What version of PB are you using?
  2. What O/S & Excel version are you using?
  3. What mechanism are you using to export the data to Excel?

Regards ... Chris
