Using 1 and 2, they are next to each other, you can have one finger over 1 and 2, and pinky on enter Using 0 and 1, they are on different levels, it's a lot harder to hover over 0 and 1, and hit the enter with the same hand.
Now why 1=y and 2=n vs 1=n and 2=y Can't answer that one! -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Susan Joslyn Sent: Thursday, March 15, 2012 3:18 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [U2] Unusual code For multilingual. I go with 0/1 for no/yes, myself. But then you can use a code table - in any language - where the returned value is 1 or 2 and test for that in the programs. Also lets the code table or whatever other validation utility you use deal with the upper and lower case issue. Final result is 0/1 and all programs can use that and don't have to be changed when the language does. I still wouldn't use that construct, but that could explain why the numeric.

The code is confusing enough to make me just want to say, if they entered a Y exit, if they entered a N continue or whatever. That's job security right there! _______________________________________________ U2-Users mailing list [email protected] http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users
