Stored procedures
The Unicode property is used to:
  • Determine if the value of a control is a Unicode string.
  • Specify whether the value of a control is a Unicode string.
Note This property is particularly useful for managing fields linked to an HFSQL field in Unicode.
Example
// Teste si la valeur du champ SAI_MessageEmail est en Unicode
IF SAI_MessageEmail.Unicode = False THEN
	SAI_MessageEmail.Unicode = True
END
Syntax
