Hi Everybody,
Unfortunately Progress codepage conversion does not support bi-directional algorithm ( bidi ) for right-to-left ( rtl ) languages e.g. Hebrew, Arabic, Persian etc.
I'm looking into writing a few 4gl routines for logical to visual and vice-versa conversions etc., for better integration with Progress, and with UNIX.
I've had a look at the bidi specifications, man, and I thought the Progress docs were unclear. But even without them, I think, I get the general idea.
If anyone has done something similar I'd be interested in their opinion, advice etc. BTW, does anyone else have a need for such tool ?
