Hi Craig:

It will return single multi-byte character; similarly, index function will
return the multi-byte character position.

Subject: [U2] [UV] [] operator and NLS

Hi All,

I don't currently have an NLS system to fiddle with, but want to write a 
routine which will run correctly on an NLS system.

Does anyone know how the [] operator works under NLS -- does it return 
characters or bytes?

eg: if I have a string of 3 multibyte characters LEN = 3, BYTELEN = 6 
and I say

X = Y[2,1]

Will X be a single multibyte character (LEN = 1, BYTELEN = 2) or a 
single byte?

thanks,


Craig
