GetMinimumDelimiter function

Gets the minimum system delimiter value used in converting ANSI characters to and from both Unicode and UTF-8 characters.

value = GetMinimumDelimiter()

This is the programmatic equivalent of reading the status of the Minimum Delimiter Value setting in the System Editor.

Valid values are 240 to 255. A value of 0 (the default) indicates that no system delimiters are maintained during conversion and such values are converted as displayed characters.

SetMinimumDelimiter subroutine

declare function GetMinimumDelimiter

* set minimum delimiter to @TM (Char(251))

call SetMinimumDelimiter(251)
* delim will contain the decimal number 251 after the function call

delim = GetMinimumDelimiter()
