This intrinsic function returns the string value of the single character at a specified position in the method object Unicode string.
The UnicodeChar function is available as of version 7.5 of the Sirius Mods.
UnicodeChar syntax
%outUni = unicode:UnicodeChar(position)
Syntax Terms
- %outUni
- A Unicode variable to receive the result of the UnicodeChar method.
- unicode
- A Unicode string.
- position
- The position in the method object string of the character you want to identify. A value of 1 finds the first character in the string.
Usage Notes
- The position value must be a non-negative, non-zero number; a zero or negative number results in request cancellation.
- For a given position, the UnicodeChar function returns the same value as UnicodeSubstring with a length argument of '1'.
- The UnicodeChar method is analogous to the Char function
Examples
The following request calls UnicodeChar two times:
Begin
printText {'inaugural':unicodeChar(5)}
%u is unicode initial('xyz¡':U)
printText {%u:unicodeChar(4)}
End
The result is:
g ?
The question mark in the result represents an EBCDIC character that is not displayable.
