Transact SQL :: FOR XML To Write Data With Carriage Return / Line Feed At End Of Elements?
Sep 30, 2015
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?

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.

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 write a user defined function that will allow me tostrip off the last carriage return and line feed from a text field.We have address fields stored in a text field for our ERP system andsome of them have an extra carriage return and line feed at the end ofthem. This causes havoc when we sync between our ERP system and CRMsystem. If anyone knows a way to solve this problem the help would beappreciated.Examples:Existing Text field with CR:1234 Blah Street<CR>Suite 2345<CR>Corrected Text field:1234 Blah Street<CR>Suitr 2345

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 All,
I am trying to print 10 values in a single cell in a text box.....
To make it readable I put carriage returns and line feeds into the boxes.
These rendered ok in visual studio but did not render ok in explorer....no carriage return or line feed.
This is what I added...
=Fields!segment_sdesc_00.Value & chr(10) & chr(13)
Can anyone advise me as to what is wrong with this? There must be a way to put a cr/lf or newline into a report in a text box.....
Thanks in Advance

I'm in the process of importing a series of flat files into SQL Server. I'm using a ~ to separate the columns and the row delimiter is {CR}{LF}. One of the files has a field that contains the CRLF combination in a few places so that field is split over several rows. This is readily visible when I look at the flat file. However, when I'm importing the file, the Import and Export wizard seems to ignore them and import the files as they should with one row per record.

Hi,
I'm using quite odd combination of technology for my project, I'm using PHP and MSSQL 2000, at one certain page, I want to insert to a table where one of the column is TEXT data type, and I want to get the value from the TEXTAREA at the page, of course, with carriage return captured, I manage to get it done in MySQL, where it automatically store the carriage return keyed in by user at the TEXTAREA, while for MSSQL I no luck in finding solution for this, is there any settings I can set or I need to convert the carriage return keystroke to HTML tag at my PHP?
Thanks

how can i insert a carriage return when i update the field?
say i want to put the following inside a field:
firstline
secondline
how can i update/insert a column to have a return carriage inside it?
UPDATE table SET column = 'firstline secondline'
the reason i want this is because when using a program (Solomon, by microsoft, purchasing software) to grab a field out of the database and when it displays that field in the programs textbox, i want it to be displayed on two separate lines
i tried doing
UPDATE table SET column = 'firstline' + char(13) 'secondline'
but when in the solomon program, it displays an ascii character between firstline and secondline like: firstline||secondline
thanks

We are using a table that may give 1 to and unknown number of data elements (ie. years) . How can we break this to show only three years in each row. Since we don't know the number years we really won't know the number of rows needed. Years are stored in their own table by line.
car make year1 year2 year3
A volare 1995 1996 1997
a volare 1997 1998 1999
b toyat 1965 1966 1968
We can pivot out the first X# but we don't know how many lines so we don't know how many rows we will be creating.

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?

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,
BCB

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.

I am using BCP and one of the tables in my SQL contains a column of type nvarchar(500) - whose data are actually email messages such as:
Sent: Wednesday, January 09, 2008 11:03 PM
To: Kathy Shouner
Cc: Brent Ford; William Dew
Subject: RE: Revision of presentation schedule
I support the recommended revisions.
When I open the datafile, it spans 6 separate lines - probably ending in carriage returns (not sure how to confirm this). Hence, I am having a problem importing it to my table. When I query the database, it appears as one line under that column - which is the way it should be.
My BCP command is something like this:
BCP "select email_msg, email_id from emails" QUERYOUT "c:email.txt" -c -T -S sunny.erwin.com
I experimented with -w, -n, -N already but still am failing to get the proper output.
Please help... Thanks in advance.

How do I enable SQL Management Studio to allow me to directly copy text with carriage returns into a table?
I know that I can use the CHAR(13) statement when using T-SQL insert/update statements ('some text' + char(13) + 'some more text').
However when I copy text with carriage returns directly into a table column by right clicking the table, opening the table and editing the row directly, all text after the first carriage return vanishes. Only the text before the first carriage return is committed.
Please help.

When I make a call to a stored procedure to update a record, the update does not happen. No error is thrown, there are just no rows updated. When I look at SQL Server Profiler, this is what I see:
exec TTN_Update_RecurringIssueVehicle @RecurringIssueVehicleID='00962233-6EC3-42CE-ABBD-1851F1176D63',@RecurringIssueID='66FE821A-9881-4368-B975-5B04975C5E16',@RecurringIssueProblemID='ABED20CD-CB37-4491-903F-553555EEE47C',@MarketID=1,@VehicleNumber=268,@AddedDate=N'12/14/2006 3:30:00 PM',@AddedBy=12,@ResolvedDate=N'12/15/2006 10:19:45 AM',@ResolvedBy=12
It seems to be putting a carriage return in the middle of one of my date parameter values, and also seems to be putting those values in double quotes. If I try to run this in SQL Management Studio, it throws an error. If I take out the carriage return, and fix the quotes, it succeeds. Here is my VB.Net code:
<DataObjectMethod(DataObjectMethodType.Update)> _
Public Function Update_RecurringIssueVehicle( _
ByVal RecurringIssueVehicleID As Guid, _
ByVal RecurringIssueID As Guid, _
ByVal RecurringIssueProblemID As Guid, _
ByVal MarketID As Integer, _
ByVal VehicleNumber As Integer, _
ByVal AddedDate As DateTime, _
ByVal AddedBy As Integer, _
ByVal ResolvedDate As DateTime, _
ByVal ResolvedBy As Integer) As Integer
dbCmd.CommandText = "TTN_Update_RecurringIssueVehicle"
dbCmd.Parameters.Clear()
dbCmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@RecurringIssueVehicleID", RecurringIssueVehicleID)
dbCmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@RecurringIssueID", RecurringIssueID)
If RecurringIssueProblemID <> Guid.Empty Then dbCmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@RecurringIssueProblemID", RecurringIssueProblemID)
dbCmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@MarketID", MarketID)
dbCmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@VehicleNumber", VehicleNumber)
dbCmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@AddedDate", AddedDate.ToString())
dbCmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@AddedBy", AddedBy)
If ResolvedDate <> DateTime.MinValue Then dbCmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@ResolvedDate", ResolvedDate.ToString())
If ResolvedBy <> -1 Then dbCmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@ResolvedBy", ResolvedBy)
Dim retVal As New SqlParameter("@RetVal", SqlDbType.Int)
retVal.Direction = ParameterDirection.ReturnValue
dbConn.Open()
dbCmd.ExecuteNonQuery()
dbConn.Close()
Return CInt(retVal.Value)
End Function
Any ideas are greatly appreciated - thanks
