Error Message

[Chris Kelleher]

Hi pegger,

I got error message : Starting position for substring, overlay,
etc., must be 1 or greater. (82)
The field which got error message is the initial value which used in
{pt/setinit id} and does not use substring function. Could anybody tell me
what cause this error msg?

Thanks for help?

Hi,

The syntax for the substring and overlay functions are:

substring(string, starting_pos, no_of_characters)
overlay(string, starting_pos, no_of_characters)

If the starting position is less than or equal to 0, you will receive this
error message.

You will get a similar error if the number of characters is less than 0. It
should be noted that the number of characters can be 0.
