Hello guys,

BIRT supports word wrapping, BUT.... word will be wrapped not only if spaces follows, even if word contains signs like . , : ; and so on. My table cell contains date and time and it looks like

22.01.2009 15:
06:37

I want to get the date on the one line and the time on anoter. Is there a possibility to avoid a wrap on colon and allow it only on spaces?

PS: I'm using BIRT 2.5.1. (if that does matter)

Reinhard,

I do not know of an easy way around this, but you could try putting the
same date field in two separate data items in the same column. Then on
the first format the date time field to only show date and the second
one to only show time.

Thanks for your quick response, Jason.

This workarround is a nice idea, but.... if my date is 2/9/10 and time is 15:34:56 and the column is tight enough, then I have the same problem. Date wouldn't wrap and time would.

Is there a possibility for quick fix, I need it only for Date Time column or is there a possibility to enforce wrap on space in custom date time format in style.

Reinhard,

Can you open a bug for this? You may be able to get a better work around.
