String Encoding

[John Grabowsky]

Hi fellow rangers,

im working on B&S 2.3.1. The spec of the DBMain interface requires an update method accepting an String array, one String for evry field of the record to update. The spec of the DB file says that only ASCII can be stored. Is there a standard way to convert if the method is called with Strings containing chars other than ASCII?

Tanks.

Not really. Maybe that means you shouldn't allow non-ASCII characters to be entered to begin with?

Hi Ulf,

thanks for prompt reply. Sure, I would validate input accordingly. But i think the DBMain Interface must work anytime, whether it is called by my business logic or not.
