Hmmm... Good question. I only use BASICTYPE "U", so I'm not sure.
What does the following line do? NEWLINE = TRIM(LINE) 'T#55' Larry Hiscock Western Computer Services -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Al DeWitt Sent: Wednesday, August 24, 2005 4:59 PM To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Subject: RE: [U2] Formatting Data Part of the problem, I believe is that our ECLTYPE and BASICTYPE are P, Pick. Commands are not working the way I expect because I'm approaching this from a UV mindset (I can't help it, it's what I know). I'm being told that NEWLINE = FMT(TRIM(LINE),'55T') would turn 'Fourscore and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation,' into 'Fourscore and seven years ago our fathers brought [EMAIL PROTECTED] 'on this continent a new nation,' However, the command: NEWLINE = FMT(TRIM(LINE),'55T') does not work. It just gives me the letter T. The command: NEWLINE = FMT(TRIM(LINE),'T#55') sort of works. If LINE = 'Fourscore and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation,', the FMT command produces 'TFourscore and seven years ago our fathers brought forth' but loses 'on this continent a new nation,' I don't think UniData's Pick flavor is up to the task, but I'm open to any ideas. --Al -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Brutzman, Bill Sent: Wednesday, August 24, 2005 6:02 PM To: 'u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org' Subject: RE: [U2] Formatting Data Consider "Socratic" Programming... that is, break the problem down into elemental pieces.
