@Failure with @Char(13)

msg := “Invalid UNC path!” + @Repeat(@Char(13);2) + “Sample UNC Path:” + @Char(13) + “\\computer_name\shared_folder\subfolder\”;

@If (valid_unc_path;@Success; @Failure(msg));

Using @Failure, why the value of msg variable is displayed only in one line of the message box?

However, it’s displayed properly when used in @Prompt:

i.e…

@Prompt([OK];“Error Occured”; msg);

why o why???

Try using @NewLine instead of @Char(13)

Subject: Use @Char(10) not 13… 13 = Carriage Return, 10 = Line Feed (same as @NewLine)

or @Char(10), not 13.

None worked.

Using @NewLine, @Failure truncates the string upto @Newline;

Using @Char(10), @Failure displays the string in one line;

@NewLine != @Char(10), they behave differently.

thanks for the suggestions though.

Anyone from Lotus/IRIS/IBM?

You could use this kind of workaround:

msg := “Invalid UNC path!” + @Char(13) + “Sample UNC Path:” + @Char(13) + “\\computer_name\shared_folder\subfolder\”;

@If(valid_unc_path;@Success;@Failure(“Moving to Erraneous Field”+@Left(@Text(@Prompt([Ok];“Field Contains Incorrect Value”;msg));0)))

The only bad thing is that there are 2 dialog boxes, but it’s more informative! :slight_smile:

Btw, @Newline seems to work also with @Prompt, although the Help says only @Char(13) would work. Maybe @Newline works only with Notes 6-7.
