DF20 bug with pos

[wila]

Hi,

More goodies from debugging WebQuery...

On DF 19.1 the following code:



Use Windows.pkg

Procedure Test
String sValue
Integer iPos
Integer iCommaPos
Move "0,1,00,1,52,212,-11,12,-15,false2,-15,false2,-15,false2,-14,Id: 2,-1" to sValue
Move 11 to iPos
Move (Pos(",",sValue,iPos,10)) to iCommaPos
Showln iCommaPos
End_Procedure

Send Test


Inkey WindowIndex


Outputs:


12


On DF20, the output is


0

interesting..

in the code above change the line


Move (Pos(",",sValue,iPos,10)) to iCommaPos

into


Move (Pos(",",sValue,iPos,9)) to iCommaPos


...and it works

Wil,

I moved this here because it's likely a Unicode-related issue.

This is fixed (along with other string related bugs) in the latest DF 20, however it was not mentioned in the release note. I reckon this is one of the more important issues to mention in the release note since I think most DF applications use "Pos" at some point...
