RANGE CHECKS

IN "ADE": "BB", "s", "t" The ﬁeld may have any value in the range ADE through BB

or it can be s or t. Thus, it could be Abcd, or B or t, but it

cannot be AB or S. In NATIVE-3000, all lowercase letters

are greater than any uppercase letters.

IN "20":"30" Allows any character values between 20 and 30 in the

USASCII collating sequence. Thus 2A and 3& are valid for

NATIVE-3000. (Other native languages use other

collating sequences.)

Native Language Support

NATIVE-3000 must be used to deﬁne values for date and numeric ﬁelds within

FORMSPEC. VPLUS will convert the value when the forms ﬁle is executed to be

consistent with the native language selected. Range checks speciﬁed within FORMSPEC

may contain any character in the 8-bit extended character set consistent with the selected

language ID. When the form is executed the collating table for the native language

speciﬁed is used to check whether the ﬁeld is within range. For more information on

Native Language Support, see Section 8.
