Insert memo field via ODBC in PHP

#Caché #TrakCare

Our company is using Cache FDBMS for Medtrak.

I am trying to insert a record with the following data types : date, time, string and memo field (multiline). The SQL insert/update works fine without the memo field.

Here's my SQL statement

Insert into MR_SUB (MRSub_Date,MRSUB_Time,MRSUB_Update,MRSUB_Desc) values(:DTE, :time, :use, :remarks)

Based on FDBMS docs. MRSUB_Desc is a multiline/memo data type

Hope somebody can help. Thanks

Can you please verify before inserting that if :remarks has value?

Does the field 'MRSUB_Desc' accept ‘multilines’?

Hi Michel, yes it is a multi-line field.

I see 'Multi-Line Options'.
What can we specify ? I guess it's related to CR and/or LF. Try it with the different options.

Hi. Awful long time since I looked at that tool, but Michel is probably right: it's to do with how the lines are defined. I have a vague memory that "multiline" was actually provided as an array, not one string with delimiters. And the simple top of the array had a line count, e.g.

remarks=2

remarks(1)="first line"

remarks(2)="last line"

But I could be wrong. :-) Try the help on that "options" field. / Mike
