[UNIFACE-L:3362] Re: Conversion of Character into ASCII Code

[Aminah Golamy]

Hello Baruch,

 

Finally, this is what we've done and we were thinking whether there would be a simple Uniface function that could do the same. Unfortunately not.

 

Thanks a lot to you all for your response.

 

Have a nice day or night...!

Cheers

Aminah

Hi Aminah,
you can use a clumsy global proc.

call gp_getback

entry gp_getback

params

  string ins : in

endparams

selectcase ins

case 'A'

  return (65)

case 'B'

  return (66)

etc...

endselectcase

 

whenever u want to know the conversion of character to its ASCII Code

just call the function and check the $status.

Hi Aminah,

AFAIK, there is no function to do so.

I abuse the SMOD trigger to get this information.
When a modification is done to a UNIfield, $char holds the ASCII-code.

I use the following pseudo-code:

; EDIT-Trigger of form CHAR_CONVERT
call macro ("%%p_char[1:1]%%%")
edit CHAR_CONVERT.DUMMY
return(CHAR_VALUE.DUMMY )

entry macro
params
string p_char : IN
endparams
macro p_char
end

; SMOD of CHAR_CONVERT.DUMMY
CHAR_VALUE.DUMMY = $char
call macro ("^QUIT")

success, Uli

Hello Unifacers,

When converting ASCII Code into its character, we use $tometa as below:

$1 = 66
$2 = $tometa($1)

Here, $2 will be equivalent to "B".

Now I want to convert B back to 66, i.e. conversion of character to its ASCII Code, does anybody know the ! corresponding function?

Thanks for replying back.
Kindest Regards
Aminah
