Chr(13) not working as intended

When I use Chr(13) in my textbox expression, it does not produce a carriage return in the text. For example if I use "Test 1" & Chr(13) & "Test2", Test1 and Test2 come in the same line but if I use just Chr(10) in the place of Chr(13), it works as intended. In Crystal reports, Chr(13) does produce a carriage return and the text come in 2 different lines.

Thanks,

Shyam

It is a common issue here and you are right the difference with crystal is apparent.

You have to use a line feed to get an actual line return (10) as the carraige return (13) just feeds the symbol for systems to translate as they feel and the HTML report viewer will not action a (13) whereas the crystal viewer does.

chr(10) in an insert statement.

Can someone help me parse this oracle insert statement into SQL Server please?

insert into notify_template (subject, body, priority)
values
(
'
Budgeted time exceeded for task [18040]
',
'
Actual Time exceeds Budgeted time for the following task'
|| chr(10) || chr(10) ||
' Task Name : [18040]

|| chr(10) || chr(10) ||
