Hi guys, I am trying to print a blank line between two footerlines to get some seperations in our liability release at the bottom of our receipt. I can't find the proper code for this, I've tried two " " with a blank space in between them as well as \n and neither have worked.
Thanks in advance!

Jast add a <ROW></ROW>
So your;
<IF>
<CONDITION> Len(FooterLine1) </CONDITION>
<THEN>
<ROW> FooterLine1 </ROW>
</THEN>
</IF>
Would become ;
<IF>
<CONDITION> Len(FooterLine1) </CONDITION>
<THEN>
<ROW> FooterLine1 </ROW>
<ROW></ROW>
</THEN>
</IF>
Hi Ryan, these are footerlines so I have created additional footer lines in the Attributes section like this:
<SET name="FooterLine1" custom="true" description="Footer Line 1" type="vbString">"x ___________________________________________ " </SET>
<SET name="FooterLine2" custom="true" description="Footer Line 2" type="vbString"> "NO RETURN, EXCHANGE OR REFUND ON LIFT TICKETS" </SET>
<SET name="FooterLine3" custom="true" description="Footer Line 3" type="vbString">"ALL SALES ARE FINAL."</SET>
<SET name="FooterLine4" custom="true" description="Footer Line 4" type="vbString">"RETURNS OR EXCHANGES WITHIN 7 DAYS IF THE"</SET>
<SET name="FooterLine5" custom="true" description="Footer Line 5" type="vbString">"PRODUCT HAS NOT BEEN USED OR INSTALLED ARE"</SET>
<SET name="FooterLine6" custom="true" description="Footer Line 6" type="vbString">"SUBJECT TO A 15% RESTOCKING FEE. NO REFUND "</SET>
<SET name="FooterLine7" custom="true" description="Footer Line 7" type="vbString">"OR EXCHANGE ON SPECIAL ORDERED ITEMS. ALL"</SET>
<SET name="FooterLine8" custom="true" description="Footer Line 8" type="vbString">"WARRANTIES ON PRODUCTS ARE BY MANUFACTURERS"</SET>
<SET name="FooterLine9" custom="true" description="Footer Line 9" type="vbString">"ONLY. WE MAKE NO REPRESENTATION OF SPECIFIC"</SET>
<SET name="FooterLine10" custom="true" description="Footer Line 10" type="vbString">"SUITABILITY OF PURPOSE. PLEASE NOTE THAT CAR"</SET>
<SET name="FooterLine11" custom="true" description="Footer Line 11" type="vbString">"RACK/HITCH INSTALLATIONS ARE DONE AS A"</SET>
<SET name="FooterLine12" custom="true" description="Footer Line 12" type="vbString">"COURTESY ONLY. WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR "</SET>
<SET name="FooterLine13" custom="true" description="Footer Line 13" type="vbString">"DAMAGES. RACKS/HITCHES CAN AND WILL DAMAGE"</SET>
<SET name="FooterLine14" custom="true" description="Footer Line 14" type="vbString">"YOUR VEHICLE. PLEASE CHECK YOUR RACK/HITCH "</SET>
<SET name="FooterLine15" custom="true" description="Footer Line 15" type="vbString">"AT REGULAR INTERVALS AND ENSURE THAT YOUR "</SET>
<SET name="FooterLine16" custom="true" description="Footer Line 16" type="vbString">""</SET>
<SET name="FooterLine17" custom="true" description="Footer Line 17" type="vbString">"RACK/HITCH AND LOAD ARE PROPERLY SECURED."</SET>
<SET name="FooterLine18" custom="true" description="Footer Line 18" type="vbString">"ON ACCOUNT TERMS NET 30 DAYS"</SET>
I made Footer Line 16 blank for this example.
Then there is the second place on the receipt they are referenced (under the SUB: PrintFooter section) here's a snippet from that section:
<SUB name="PrintFooter">
<!-- Print Footer Lines -->
<TABLE>
<FONT> "Small" </FONT>
<BORDER> tbNone </BORDER>
<COLUMNHEADER>
<ALIGNMENT> "^~" </ALIGNMENT>
<WIDTH> PageWidth </WIDTH>
</COLUMNHEADER>
<IF>
<CONDITION> Len(FooterLine1) </CONDITION>
<THEN>
<ROW> FooterLine1 </ROW>
</THEN>
</IF>
<IF>
<CONDITION> Len(FooterLine2) </CONDITION>
<THEN>
<ROW> FooterLine2 </ROW>
</THEN>
</IF>
<IF>
<CONDITION> Len(FooterLine3) </CONDITION>
<THEN>
<ROW> FooterLine3 </ROW>
</THEN>
</IF>
<IF>
<CONDITION> Len(FooterLine4) </CONDITION>
<THEN>
<ROW> FooterLine4 </ROW>
</THEN>
</IF>
<IF>
<CONDITION> Len(FooterLine5) </CONDITION>
<THEN>
<ROW> FooterLine5 </ROW>
</THEN>
</IF>
<IF>
<CONDITION> Len(FooterLine6) </CONDITION>
<THEN>
<ROW> FooterLine6 </ROW>
</THEN>
</IF>
<IF>
<CONDITION> Len(FooterLine7) </CONDITION>
<THEN>
<ROW> FooterLine7 </ROW>
</THEN>
</IF>
<IF>
<CONDITION> Len(FooterLine8) </CONDITION>
<THEN>
<ROW> FooterLine8 </ROW>
</THEN>
</IF>
<IF>
<CONDITION> Len(FooterLine9) </CONDITION>
<THEN>
<ROW> FooterLine9 </ROW>
</THEN>
</IF>
<IF>
<CONDITION> Len(FooterLine10) </CONDITION>
<THEN>
<ROW> FooterLine10 </ROW>
</THEN>
and this goes on until footer line 18
Please note that footerline 16 does not print a space on this receipt it is simply skipped over, I would imagine it has something to do with the formatting in the SUB: Footerline section
Thanks again,
Devon
Devon,
When using the <ROW> tag of the <TABLE> element, you should just be able to stick in an empty <ROW> element (<ROW></ROW>) and this should add a blank line. Though this can sometimes work in unexpected ways with certain printer/driver combinations. If just an empty <ROW> tag is not getting the trick done it could end up being a bit more complex. I'd have to see a copy of the XML to know the proper course of action.
we are using the <ROW> Tag
Thanks,
Devon
What type of tag are you working with? <ROW> or <TEXT>?
Hi Jeff, thanks for the reply!
I tried as you suggested and it does look odd, do you have any other suggestions to get a blank line in between two footer lines?
Thanks again,
Devon
Devon,
Try " . " That's a space before and after a period surrounded by quotes. While not completely blank, its close enough without having to change the receipt's XML code.
If you want that, post back.
