CHARMAP property
Applies To
SYSTEM
Description
The 255-character conversion map used for keyboard input.
Usage
OrigMap = Get_Property("SYSTEM", "CHARMAP")
OrigMap = Set_Property("SYSTEM", "CHARMAP", NewMap)
Remarks
Characters 250-255 are used as system delimiters. In some languages, characters in this range are meaningful; in other words, these characters are used to construct words. Since the characters are used in OpenInsight as system delimiters, entering data using these characters will cause character "collision" and possible problems. Using the CHARMAP property, you can assign other characters to this range.
Example
* map the U-umlaut to the accentless-U
declare function Get_Property
declare subroutine Set_Property
Map = Get_Property("SYSTEM", "CHARMAP")
Map [255,1] = "U"
Set_Property("SYSTEM", "CHARMAP", Map)
