Documentation for TSL.asm
This little program was intended for use with Clipper Summer '87.
It provides the capability to translate any string passed to it
by Clipper by searching a Source translation table for an
occurrence of each character in the passed string and replacing
the character with the corresponding character in the Dest
translation table if the passed character is located in the
Source table.
The syntax for calling this UDF from Clipper is:
TSL(String,SourceTable,DestTable,LenSourceTable,LenString), or as
declared in TSL.asm:
TSL <char String,char Source,char Dest,int TableLen,int FieldLen>
This function is particularly useful when translating foreign
characters into their English equivalents during indexing, so
that the indexed strings will appear in their proper places in
the index.
Placed in the public domain.
