Hi all, One of our most curious programmers noticed that when he uses READ or READ INTO statement to parse alphanumeric data, a translation is made. The value passed is the arithmetic truncation of the string. For example a string 'FOW123' is passed with value '666123'. As you can see X'F1' = C6D6E6F1F2F3. The truncation made before assigning the value to an element so, using DTR instead of DTR has no effect. Do you think this is a compiler or LE issue?
