Problem With Mailing Labels And Line Feed
Aug 15, 2007
I am trying to print mailing labels and suppress optional address lines to eliminate white space while maintaining label alignment. This is what I am trying but it does not work.
I create a function that determines the length of a field (i.e. street) and increments a counter if the length is zero. It also takes a second parameter that detremines whether to reset the counter. I then use the function in the visibility each row of the label table. Example iif(Code.LineLen(Fields!Street.Value)=0,True,False). I place this on the visibility of each row except the last as that is City,State,Zip and is required. On this last row the expession I use is
=Fields!city.Value & ", " & Fields!state.Value & " " & Fields!zip.Value & iif(Code.LineCount<5,StrDup(5-Code.LineCount,vbCRLF),""). What this is intended to do is print a carraige return and line feed for every row that did not print. Instead no line feeds occur. I have verified that the Code.LineCount is indeed calculating correctly (I printed the value). I've removed the conditional to make sure it has no issues but again nothing. For clarification the code block I am using is this.
Public LineCount as Integer=0
Function LineLen(byval LineIn as string,byval IsFirst as boolean) as Integer
if IsFirst=True then
LineCount=1
end if
If len(LineIn)>0 then
LineCount=LineCount+1
end if
LineLen=Len(LineIn)
end Function
So if anyone either knows why the line feeds do not occur or a better way to handle this please let me know. Thanks.

Ok, I'm an idiot. Does anyone out there have some step by step instructions for creating a report that will do mailing labels. I've got multiple columns on my report but I end up with the contents of each column being the same across each grouping/row. In other words for each record read, since I have three columns, I get three occurances of each customer and address until all the data selected for that row is presented, then I go to the next customer which again is repeated across all three columns.
I'm sorry I'm so stupid, but I've looked at other entries on the forum, and I just can't figure it out. We are trying to get out from underneith Business objects thumb and any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! - Eric -

I am creating a report to be used to print mailing labels. Size 1" x 2 5/8" (3 columns of 10 labels). I seem to have everything but the vertical spacing working properly. I have used a rectangle set to the size of the labels which contains a list box containing text boxes containing expressions to pull in the fields. Some of the street addresses are two lines with the majority being only one line.
I have joined the two fields containing the street addresses and inserted a new line command so each field will print on its own line but yet be contained within the same text box. Everything except the text box containing the street addresses are set to not increase or decrease. My problem is that on the pages of the report where labels vary between the one and two line street addresses the labels tend to creep down which in some cases causes data to be printed over two labels. Any ideas on what I can do to format these to print properly?
Thanks

I have a sheet of mailing labels in which the first three rows have been used. I want a parameter or something when running an SSRS label report where I can specify what row to begin printing on and how many rows I want to print. Is that possible?

I have 6 separate mailing label like reports with a textbox inside a cell. I tried to join them into one report with subreports"but" it does not work since you need the print layout in order to get both columns to show. What is the best way to accomplish this task?

Hi,
for some AP issue, the file I upload must be without the line feed/carriage return in the last line.
for example:
original fixed-length file (exported from SSIS)
line NO DATA
1 AA123456 50 60
2 BB123456 30 40
3 CC123456 80 90
4 <-- with line feed/carriage return in the last line
The file format that AP request. The file only has 3 records, so it should end in the third line.
line NO DATA
1 AA123456 50 60
2 BB123456 30 40
3 CC123456 80 90
Should I use script component to do it ? I am new for VB . Anyone would help me ?
Thank you all.

I have two matrices aligned on one line (side by side). When I preview the report in BIS, the output shows the two matrices on the same line.
When I run the report from report manager, the output shows the two matrices with a line feed (the second matrix is on line 2). All of the rest of the report is aligned properly until I put two matrices next to each other. Then it seems to randomly throw in a line feed. The page width for the report layout seems to be more than enough to accomodate the matrices.
Why is this happening?

Hi,
I want to insert line feed. I have used char(10) and char(13) function. But I could not insert line feed. Ex: set error1= 'error description' + char(10)+ 'Employee'
Output must be: error description Employee
Any suggestions are welcome.

Hello,
I am displaying a complex formula in a column header tool tip. The formula is generated in a stored procedure. (I do not enter the tool tip text directly in the column header expression.)
Within the stored procedure, how do I generate a string that contains a carriage return/line feed?
Thanks,

Hi there, I hope you can help us.
We're using this statement to import some values into a database:
SQLStatement = "INSERT MyTable (ID, VALUE) VALUES ('" & IDString & "', '" & VALUEString & "')"
The problem is that the strings might contain carriage returns/line feeds, i.e.
VALUEString = "Line 1." & vbCrLf & "Line 2."
It only imports up until the first vbCrLf. We have tried replacing vbCrLf with "", but this doesn't work either. What is the correct format for inserting a value that contains new line characters?
Thanks for your time,
Lasse.

I am trying to use FOR XML under SQL Server 2014 to write out a large XML data set. I want it to look like
<CVS_Member_Add_Change>
<RecordType>3</RecordType>
<Carrier>1266</Carrier>
<MultiBirthCode>0000000</MultiBirthCode>
<MemberType></MemberType>
[Code] ....
That's how it looks when you click on the results of a small subset of the query. Just what I want. Unfortunately when you try to right click and save it you get
<dataroot><CVS_Member_Add_Change><RecordType>3</RecordType><Carrier>1266</Carrier<MultiBirthCode>0000000</MultiBirthCode><MemberType></MemberType<LanguageCode>1</LanguageCode><DURFlag></DURFlag><DURKey></DURKey><SocialSecurityNumber>000000000</SocialSecurityNumber</CVS_Member_Add_Change>
Everything being on one line blows up the translator application that reads the data.
The FOR XML statement copied out of the query is below.
FOR XML RAW ('CVS_Member_Add_Change'), ROOT('dataroot'), ELEMENTS
GO
Is there a way in the T-SQL to force it to break lines neatly?
Is there a way to force it to a specific file name or directory?

I have a csv file as follows:
"100,002.01","200,00.01",10.98,aaaaaaa,bbbbbbbbbb
"100,002.01","200,00.01",10.98,aaaaaaa,bbbbbbbbbb
"100,002.01","200,00.01","1,000.98",aaaaaaa,bbbbbbbbbb
Note that the third column in the third line is also qualified by quotes whereas the previous two are not. I think this is because of Excel formatting. Is there any way to import this file correctly?
My main problem is that I never know whether a column will be qualified or not because this depends on the value. I need to loop through and import many of these files so a manual workaround is not a option for me.

Hi folks,
I'm building a DTS package which needs to mail a list of users nightly
The mailing list needs to be dynamic so I'm using the dynamic properties tab to populate the To, From etc. fields in an SMTP DTS task.
I need to construct a script which will run within the DTS package and build a mailing list file from a table of users in the connected db. The Dynamic properties task will then pull from this data file when populating the 'To' field.
The basic select statement is simple (e.g. SELECT email FROM employees WHERE role = 'mgr') however I need the output to be a single line of email addresses separated by commas (e.g. Email1,Email2,Email3....etc).
I'm a bit unsure on how to go about doing / writing this.
Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Dave

In the thread http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=1071904&SiteID=1 mike.groh stated that you would define the result set as a data set variable through an execute sql task. He then pushed the variable out as a dataset type. (ds = CType(Dts.Variables("Email_CurrentDataset").Value, DataSet)
How would this type of object be declared as a user variable? Is it of type object? What is the logic behind converting a result set to a data set?
Specifically I am having problems with converting / casting the result set to a data set in that I am getting an error stating that it cannot convert the com object to a data.dataset class...

Hi, i am a newbie to reporting services.
Am trying to create a mailing label report so that it can pull out the details from the database and gets printed onto the label stickers correctly. However, no matter how i adjust the sizes of the report from the page properties, it's still not printed properly.
I have 7 label stickers on 1 mailing page, so let's say i have 13 records, that will be 2 mailing pages. Each label sticker is about 9cm width by 3.6 cm height. The gap between each label sticker is 0.2 cm
Can anyone advise me on how to go about doing it? By the way, i am using SSRS 2000.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks :)

i am once again working with mailing labels. I have designed the report in SQL Server Reporting Services to print in 3 columns with a body size of 2.625" wide by 1.00" high; a rectangle the same size which then contains a list the same size which contains the data fields. I get fairly good results when I print to one printer however, there does seem to be a bit of "creep" on the page. The problem really shows when trying to print to another network printer where when a user prints the report (labels) by the end of the page data is printing outside of the label margins. are there some properties that I'm missing that would prevent this or could this be related to printer settings?

I am trying to use the time series algorithm to predict responses to promotion mailings for subscription renewals. The problem i am having is that response is largely influenced by the number of mailings that are sent out. Can anyone give me any ideas on how i can structure the dataset so that it would take into account how many promotions were sent out? any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
Not sure if this is the right board as it could be in the XML one aswell...
I'm fairly ok with ASP2.0 and used it to build a database driven website: www.trailandtrack.co.uk however, I want to create an RSS feed of the trails that are on the site.
The trails are all in a MSSQL2000 database, and are all keyed on a unique ID which is used to retreive the trail info from the database (using querystrings)
I want to create an automatic RSS feed that gets updated automatically from the database whenever new trails are added. Giving the Title as the Trail Name, Link But using the standard URL: http://www.trailandtrack.co.uk/usertrail.aspx?trailid=123 (if you go this this page you'll see the feidl placeholders)
Only thing is Ive not got a clue how to go about creating an RSS feed to do this, can anyone help?? (I can do a manual one fine, no probs, but automatically - it's a bit out of my debth)
Thanks
