Hello All,

I am working on creating a form that will display a listing of products that gets dynamically populated.  The form is working great with the exception of the formatting of the data that comes back.

The SQL statement that I'm using is: select (ModelNum + space(4) + Frequency + space(4) + [Isolation]) as option, (ModelNum + space(4) + Frequency + space(4) + [Isolation]) as value from dbo.MTC_Products.

When I execute the statement in SQL Server, it returns the specified formatted string (as exepected).  When I execute the SQL statement in DNN Host / SQL, the return strips out the spacing.  Is there some kind of DNN configuration setting somewhere?

Thank you for your time.

Kind regards,
-Shane

Hi,

I doubt that it matters.  Host/SQL will not be involved when you issue the statement from your module.

Issue the statement you want and process the results as you need to.

Best wishes,

 please be aware, that Host:: SQL does output result in HTML, which might not display multiple blanks (instead of nbsp)

Shane,

HTML does "see" one or more space character as just one space character on output. 

Try replacing the space(4) with  '    '  This will result in most browser issuing a space character (nbsp = non-breaking space) -- also depends on your font as to the amount of space actually displayed.  Use a mono-spaced font like Courier New, instead of Arial or Tahoma (for example).

Hope that helps
Paul.

Replacing the space(4) with '   &nbsp' worked like a champ!

Thank you all so much for your time and knoweledge.
