Does RS recognize CHAR(13)?

I am making a query for mailing labels that I will generate in Reporting
Services. I have a SQL Server stored procedure that returns the address using
SQL like this
SELECT Address + CHAR(13) + Address2 + CHAR(13) + City + ' ' + State + ' '
+ Zip AS FullAddress
FROM ...
Assume the data is:
Address: 123 Main Street
Address2: Suite 3
City: Bellevue
State: WA
Zip: 98111
I assign the FullAddress field to a textbox in Reporting Services. I resize
it to be several lines high. The result I get is something like this:
123 Main StreetSuite3Bellevue
WA 98111
I have tried using CHAR(10) + CHAR(13) instead of just CHAR(10), but I get
double spaces. Does RS handle CHAR() output? Do I need to use separate fields?I've done this before but in the actual field expression not in the query.
Use Fields!Address.Value + CHR(10) + Fields!Address.Value + ...

Chr(10) to work in the actual field expression, but chr(10) + chr(13) did.
For the benefit of future thread readers...I went a step further and created
a code block in the Report|Report Parameters command to make things a little
cleaner. It easily handles the common case where the second address line is
empty (Note: my query returns an empty string rather than a NULL if there is
no Address2). My code is this:
Function BuildAddress(ByVal A1 As String, ByVal A2 As String, ByVal C AS
String) As String
Dim strReturn As String
=Code.BuildAddress(Fields!Address.Value, Fields!Address2.Value,
Fields!CSZ.Value)
If A2.Length > 0 Then
strReturn += A2 + chr(10) + chr(13)
End If
strReturn += C
Return strReturn
End Function
And then I used the following expression in the textbox:
=Code.BuildAddress(
