Hi,

I am getting below error message while migrating PBL's from PB 7.0 to PB 2017.

" Function 'Len' has been replaced with function 'LenA' "

This error occurs when I select "Automatically convert dbcs string manipulation function" checkbox.

Does this harm any of the functionaility of my application.

 

Regards

Ankush Rai

DBCS is a pre-cursor to Unicode. Don't check that checkbox unless you are actually using that feature.

Hi Roland,



Thanks for your reply.



If I am not checking that checkbox:- The encrypted password my app retrieves from database are decrypted wrongly.

Is there any other workaround for this issue?

Ankush

Hi Ankush,



I had a problem with password encrypting/decrypting years ago as well when converting from PB 9 to PB 10.5.  Try overloading the affected PB string function(s).  For me, creating a global function "Asc", then in that function coded "return AscA(string)" did the trick.



Cheers.



Ricardo

Same is in my case.

So that's great.
