DELIMCOUNT property (System)

Specifies the "delimiter count" used by the application when converting ANSI strings to Unicode strings.

This property should be an integer between 0 and 8 (inclusive). The value is the specifies which single byte characters (counting backwards from 256) should be treated as system delimiters when performing the ANSI to UTF8 or UTF16 translation.

This property can be set at design time by using the Application Settings dialog from within the IDE Settings menu.

This property was originally called NO_OF_DELIMITERS in previous versions of OpenInsight. NO_OF_DELIMITERS is now an alias to this property to preserve backwards compatibility.

For further information please see Appendix I – UTF8 Processing at the end of this document.

 
// Get the current delimiter count

   

   DelimCount = Get_Property( "SYSTEM", "DELIMCOUNT" )

   

   // Set the current delimiter courn so that only @rm, @fm and  

   // @vm are preserved as system delimiters when translated into

   // Unicode.

   

   Call Set_Property( "SYSTEM", "DELIMCOUNT", 3 )
