Using Control Characters in Report Scripts

When working with reports for non-Unicode-mode applications, Report Writer uses language-specific codes that enable columnar data to line up precisely. Because Unicode does not contain language-specific formatting codes within its encoding, report columns may not line up precisely.

Non-Unicode-mode applications that use single-byte code pages support the following Hexadecimal control characters in report scripts:

x20, x09, x0A, x0D, xB3, xC3, xC4, xC2, xC0, x0C, xB1

Unicode-mode applications and non-Unicode-mode applications that use multibyte code pages support the following Hexadecimal control characters in report scripts:

x20, x09, x0A, x0C, x0D
