Relational characters

Hi Silly question no. 148795212241: How may I show and print characters like “plus or minus”, “greater or equal”, “lesser or equal”, hopefully having them looking the same to all the users, no matter which operating system they are using? I’ve managed to get “plus or minus”, but can’t catch the other two. [:(] Thanks Anna

Not too sure how you’re trying to use it exactly but couldn’t you use a Text Constant (of the sign you wish to use) and then concatenate it with your variable?

I warned in advance that it was a silly question… My problem actually is… [:I] … how do I get the damned values into the Text Constant? I’ve tried different codes from different character tables but I’m getting everything but >= or <= [}:)] Anna

What about underlining the > and the <? -john

Interesting suggestion…[:)] I guess it would require the sign to be in a field of its own… That wouldn’t really make my life any easier, in this occasion, but I’ll store away the idea for future usage! [:D] Anna

Hallo Anna, have you tried the program charmap.exe in the directory %SystemRoot%\System32\ and the font MS LineDraw the codes are: 164 ± 149 >= 162 <= br Josef Metz

Actually, there isn’t such a font on my PC! But an an other one might also work… Forgive my ignorance, is the program accessible by Navision code? Anna

no you can not access this programm by Navision code. this is a Windows system programm. it shows all characters of a chosen font. “MS Linedraw” is an old Microsoft font, you can find with google. are that characters you want to print “standalone” or in an whole text field. because in Navision you have to choose that font, then you can print that characters. br Josef Metz

Understood. So that would work on print only. Better than nothing, I guess. Thank you. [:)] Anna
