Tip of the Day: New BOOLEAN Operating Condition
Product.......: R:BASE X.5 and R:BASE X.5 Enterprise (Version 10.5)
Build.........: 10.5.2.20114 or higher
Sections......: Settings
Keywords......: BOOLEAN, True, False, Expressions
Did you know that a new setting was introduced which specifies how constants
(e.g. True, False) in expressions will be treated, specifically as TEXT or as
BOOLEAN values?
The BOOLEAN setting is specific to R:BASE X.5 Enterprise where BOOLEAN is an
available data type. The default value is OFF.
SET BOOLEAN ON/OFF
When using functions and comparing values (e.g. IFEQ, IFNE) the data
types being
compared must match. With BOOLEAN set to OFF, this means that inside
expressions,
values like "True" or "False" will be treated as a text string.
If you set BOOLEAN to ON, then inside expressions, values like "True"
or "False"
will be treated as Boolean values, not text values.
The BOOLEAN setting would be assigned within an application startup
file or within
the R:BASE configuration file.
Very Best R:egards,
Razzak.
