- Update informations for AmigaBase V2.2 to V2.3
-
- The following new features have been implemented in V2.3:
-
- o New functions for programming.
- o Support of the Polish language.
- o Several bug fixes.
-
-
- New functions for programming
-
- The following new programming functions have been implemented in V2.3:
-
- GetFilter(record): returns the filter state of the supplied
- record. TRUE means that the filter is turned on, FALSE
- that the filter is turned of.
-
- SetFilter(record, boolean): sets the filter state of the
- supplied record. TRUE means that the filter will be turned on,
- FALSE will turn the filter off.
-
- GetFilterStr(record): returns the current filter expression
- of the supplied record as a STRING value.
-
- SetFilterStr(record, string): sets the filter of the given
- record to the expression contained in the string parameter.
- If the filter is currently turned on then the filter is
- directly applied to all datasets, othwerwise (filter is
- turned off) the filter string is just compiled.
- SetFilterStr returns TRUE if the filter expression could
- be compiled, FALSE if the compilation failed.
-
- GetOrderStr(record): returns the current order of the given
- record as a MEMO value. Each line in the returned text
- contains the name of a variable. The record is sorted
- by the first variable in this list. If two datasets are
- equal in the first variable then the next one in the list
- determines the order.
- An empty text means that the record has no order.
-
- SetOrderStr(record, order): sets the order of the given record
- to the variables that are listed in the order argument (MEMO).
- Each line of the text must contain one variable name, empty
- lines are ignored. After setting a new order, all datasets of
- a record are automatically sorted.
- SetOrderStr returns TRUE if the order has been successfully
- set and FALSE on failure, e.g. when a specified variable could not
- be found.
- Use "" for setting an empty order.
-
- VarName(var): returns the name of the given variable. This
- function is useful for building strings for filter expressions
- or order lists. You may specify a constant string here, but then
- if you rename variables, you would also have to rename the
- names in the string constants. Better use VarName in combination
- with SPrintf to copy the variable name into the string.
-
- RecName(rec): returns the name of the given record. See also
- VarName for the purpose of this function.
-
-
- Support of the Polish language
-
- AmigaBase now supports the Polish language.
-
-
- Several bug fixes
-
- A bug has been reported by Andreas Port. Some characters with ASCII
- code > 127 were filtered out when used in a memo text.
-
- Further minor bugs have also been fixed.
