When designing new print components, it is advisable to base them on already existing ones. We recommend duplicating an existing print component and adjusting it to your requirements.
Here some notices about special functions:
chr$(13) inserts a linefeed. An alternative would be using ¶, for example "Description¶test".
The function linefeed can be inserted via the tab text when 'edit table'.
str$(Number) converts a number to a character string. If data of a column/fields, which are transferred as numbers, should be mixed with data in string format, then this data has to be converted to strings, too.
For example, SIMO_CYCLES.End_descr + " ( "+str$(SIMO_CYCLES.End_No,0,0)+" )"
Output would be, for example: drilling ( 3 )
