Xailer & OZ Software

I have noticed a difference in the length of a value of a data control
buffer versus the length of the field it is based upon. If I have a
character field with length 6 and input a 3-character value into the
associated data control, when I check the length of the value of that
control, it is 3, not 6. Is there a way to maintain the original field
length in the data control value?
TIA,
Gary Rogers

Gary,
When we start developing Xailer, one thing we were completely sure is to
avoid the ugly spaces on TEdit controls that other products have. I know
that is how CA-Clippper works, but it was only a MS-DOS compiler.
To check the length of a datacontrol:
- oControol:oDataField:nLen
- oControl:nMaxLength

I have no problem with that approach as long as I can get the accurate field
length! I am actually VERY impressed with Xailer as I have been able to
accomplish in a couple of weeks what would have taken me months with Visual
xHarbour.
Thanks,
Gary
