Subject: [OASIS Issue Tracker] Commented: (OFFICE-1895) RIGHTB and friendsis incompletely specified



    [ http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/OFFICE-1895?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16120#action_16120 ] 

Eike Rathke commented on OFFICE-1895:
-------------------------------------

Side note: in our conference call I doubted that code page ANSI would be used in the conversion. I thought that ANSI would be one defined code page, but apparently it is not, see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-gb/goglobal/bb964655.aspx "Windows ANSI and OEM Code Pages" that lists 6 different code pages. Then there's also http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-gb/goglobal/bb964654.aspx that lists 4 different code pages under "DBCS (Double Byte Character Set) Codepages", which are a subset of "ANSI and OEM". I think those are used.

However, apparently the *B() functions depend on what code page is in effect on the user's system, similar to the CODE() and CHAR() functions, and as such are not portable.

> 6.6.6 RIGHTB
> Summary: Return a selected number of text characters from the right, using byte position.
> This description fails to indicate what happens in the likely situation that the selected bytes do not form a complete character sequence. Should that be an error or move to a correct position?
> Similarly for  the otehr ...B functions
