I'm heavily struggling with some format specifiers in Progress-4GL, release 11.6, based on appBuilder and procedure editor.
In order to understand what's happening, I'm doing the following in the source code:
The result looks more or like like the following (I've put the information on different lines for readability, I did not modify the content of the square brackets:
As you can see, the fields inside the tables start with a space and end with one. Whether this is correct or not, I don't care. What I expect, is the formats
Does anybody know what's happening here?
Thanks in advance

In order to understand what's happening, I'm doing the following in the source code:
Code:
MESSAGE "Detail: Table1.Field1=[" Table1.Field1 "], STRING(Table1.Field1, X16)=[" STRING(Table1.Field1, "X(16)") "]" VIEW-AS ALERT-BOX.
MESSAGE "Detail: Description=[" Description "], STRING (omschr, X45=[" STRING(Description, "X(45)") "]" VIEW-AS ALERT-BOX.
The result looks more or like like the following (I've put the information on different lines for readability, I did not modify the content of the square brackets:
Code:
Detail: Table1.Field1= [ 000976 ],
STRING(Table1.Field1, X16)=[ 000976 ] <= length=18 characters!
Detail: Description=[ Aldente ],
STRING (omschr, X45=[ Aldente ] <= length=47 characters!
As you can see, the fields inside the tables start with a space and end with one. Whether this is correct or not, I don't care. What I expect, is the formats
X16
and X45
to create strings of length 16 and 45, not 18 and 47.Does anybody know what's happening here?
