|
Q | Why doesn't STRINGX.DLL appear in when I try to select it through the browse dialog? |
| A |
Because you have your Windows Explorer settings
set to 'Do not show System or Hidden files'. Change this by selecting
FOLDER OPTIONS, VIEW from within Windows Explorer. |
|
Q | How do I see what StringX functions are available? | |
| A
|
Use the object browser, (F2 key) |
||
| Q | How do I know how to use all the functions? | ||
| A |
There is a sample module modString that lists all
the functions with examples on how to use them! |
||
| Q | How does the ProperCase function work for titles and surnames? | ||
| A |
There is an internal table that holds a list of
all possible exceptions for Titles, Odd surnames etc and some other exception
processing. It is possible for you to replace or add to these exceptions
by adding an INI file to your windows installation directory. Contact DECAP@stringx.com
for info and instructions. |

| Q | When I try to use PackedDecimalToString i get 'invalid' returned. Why? | ||
| A |
IBMs Packed decimal is a legacy way of representing
decimal. It is of the form hex 'nnnnnnnC' where the 'n' is the digit(s)
(as many as you like), 'C' is the sign. C=positive D=Negative. There are
also several alternate sign codes (A, E, and F for positive; B for negative).
It follows that the string you provide must have of a hex value that fits
this format.
Here is a list of hex values that are will help you understand: |
||
| hex'23232C' = | +23232 | ||
| hex'321513' = | invalid (no sign) | ||
| hex'7322321F' = | -7322321 | ||
| hex'0232F0F' = | invalid (two signs) | ||
|
Because decimal integers must consist of whole bytes and there must be a sign code on the right, the number of decimal digits is always odd. If an even number of significant digits is desired, a leading zero must be inserted on the left. |
