remove empty lines in DG

[Bob Sneidar]

You would be better off gettign the data as a cursor then looping through the cursor data to produce a dg compatible array, then setting the dgData. dgText is ok if all you have to work with is delimited text data, but if you can get an array, then you should use dgData. 

Fortunately for you, I have a cursorToArray function already written:-)

function cursorToArray pCursorID
   put revDatabaseColumnCount(pCursorID) into tColumnCount
   put revDatabaseColumnNames(pCursorID) into tColumnNames
   
   repeat forever
      add 1 to tRecordCount
      repeat with i = 1 to tColumnCount
         put revDatabaseColumnNumbered(pCursorID, i) into aCursorArray [tRecordCount] [item i of tColumnNames]
      end repeat
      
      revMoveToNextRecord pCursorID
      if not the result then exit repeat
   end repeat
   
   return aCursorArray
end cursorToArray
