Substring handling of Double Byte Characters

  • 1.  Substring handling of Double Byte Characters

    Posted Wed April 11, 2018 08:18 AM

    Hi, is there a utility/function in EGL to handle substring for double-byte characters?  For example, we have a field with char(20)  declaration that can contain single and double byte characters.  If we have first-name = name[1:10], the substring may not work if the double-byte character will be truncated before the shift out '0F' character.  Can you please help advise?  Thank you.

    Hi Thea,

     

    I believe not.  You can cast single characters to double byte and do the substring it.
