How do I insert CR/LF - CHAR(13) does not work

I need to send some long emails, problem is when I send a long body text CDO breaks up the message with spaces in the middle of words. I read on this forum the solution would be to insert CR/LF into the message so that CDO would not have to break it up at every 1k of text. I have tried using CHAR(13) as BOL suggests, but this is not doing as intended, it inserts a space and not the CR/LF I need.

Any suggestions how to insert CR/LF or why my installation is not responding to CHAR(13) is there some other escape code I could use?Char(10) ?|||An ASCII cr/lf is hexidecimal 0D0A. You could declare a char(2) variable and set it to 0x0D0A, then concatinate it to the string at your desired break points.

<code>
declare @.crlf char(2)
select @.crlf = 0x0D0A

</code>

HTH

Tom|||Hmmm, seems to work, my bad - I guess the results in QA are not accurate, but in the email the CR/LF exists.

how do i get date into dd-mm-yy format?

i have the following in an insert stored proc

CONVERT(CHAR(8),GETDATE(),10)

but this inserts 03-06-06.

how do i get it to 06-03-06?

Cheers,
Craig

Probably by setting the machine you're running on to run in a time zone where this format is standard ?|||

my sp is as follows:-

IF (@.blnConsent = 1 AND @.dteActualConsentDate <> NULL) --This is PC insert for YES consent where a ConsentDate is supplied
BEGIN
INSERT INTO tblStudyServices
(SurveyID, PatientID, FourRegularDrugs, FourRegularDrugsNo, HRD,
ReadmissSixMonths, Consent, ConsentDate, CreationDate)
VALUES
(@.intSurveyID, @.intPatientID, @.blnFourRegularDrugs, @.intFourRegularDrugsNo, @.blnHRD,
@.blnReadmissSixMonths, @.blnConsent, @.dteActualConsentDate, CONVERT(CHAR(8),GETDATE(),10))
END

@.dteActualConsentDate is passed in as 14-03-06

if i then look in the table it has

CosentDate = 14-03-06
CreationDate = 03-06-06

i have tried SET_DATEFORMAT dmy

but still no luck
