Description

Note: Characters that are not known in the target character set are not stripped from the string, unlike the behavior in Uniface 8 in which they were stripped.
Stripping Character Attributes from a Field
The following ProcScript example shows how you can strip character attributes from a Unifield, so the text can be used in field EDITBOX:
MYFIELD = "aaabbb" EDITBOX = $stripattributes(MYFIELD) ; EDITBOX contains "aaabbb"
| Version | Change |

| 9.1.01 | Characters that are not known in the target character set are not stripped from the string (in contrast to Uniface 8). |
