--- Comment #5 from [email protected] --- (In reply to Robinson Tryon (qubit) from comment #4) > > As Raal points out, the Mid function is defined in some OASIS docs covering > the ODF spec, so changes should go up to them. That being said, it seems > pretty tough to just go suggest something to the OASIS ODF TC, Oh. I see. I'm not opposed to being referred to the proper addressee, just don't know how to communicate with them. That's assumed they let me at all. However I'm not sure if OASIS is concerned here. I'm talking about the Mid function in BASIC. Is it necessarily bound to the MID function used in Calc documents? > so I'm not > opposed to some conversation here about whether this is a good idea or not, > and what specific changes might be helpful. As I already admitted introducing a negative start might in theory break existing code. However there seems to be nothing in the definition which tells what to do with negative length. So of course whoever implemented the current behaviour was well within his rights. Actually he could have tried to start a game of nethack. ;-) http://everything2.com/title/%2523pragma However one might move beyond this point and start to make something potentially useful of it. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
