Re,
I agree.
Actually, I had written a long time ago an universal function, able
to handle any combination of any length.
One argument only: something like the strings I used in the tutorial
as an introduction to specific formats.
But you have to understand well how to specify the format and it
makes things a bit more complicated for anyone :-)
And the stack I have released is a simple tutorial to get any user
started...
So I did no include it ;-)

Hi Eric,
I totally agree ! Pre 1980 Data Processing (that was what
it was called in those days) spent eons vetting, rejecting
and .... finally ..... integrating external data.
Things changed later, when the idea of checking Data Entry
"at the source" was born ! Of course, this was only possible
after the introduction of independant (non-centralized) systems.
I think we all agree that you should not let "sh....t" enter the
system, then you won't have to spend time fleecing it out.
So ..... Can we now have the "all singing - all dancing" data
entry routine, with a call sequence like :
put dataentry(x,y) into myreceptionfield
where x is the type of check required, and y is the length to be
accepted ...... ?
........ unless, of course, you can think of more criteria .....
This routine could be integrated into your nice "Managing Entry
Boxes" stack.
However, the equally elegant solution from our unknown
"[EMAIL PROTECTED]" user is also interesting :
function isPositiveInteger pValue
return (pValue is a number) AND (pValue >=0) AND (trunc(pValue)
=pValue)
end isPositiveInteger
Best Regards from Paris,
Eric Chatonet
