Sum Function

in OpenInsight
On the Wiki pages I see:

https://wiki.srpcs.com/display/Commands/Sum+Function
"Sum() recognizes seven levels of delimiters: ASCII character 248 through ASCII character 254."

https://wiki.srpcs.com/display/CommandsByCategory/System+Delimiters
Here there are only SIX Delimiters, 250-255

I know of the System delimters . What are the other ones?

    I always use the Ascii chart popup as my little reminder of what's what.

    Ahhh...

    Good Tip @AusMarkB!

    So, just to show my ignorance.
    In what manner are ASCII 248 and 249 used as delimters in OI?

  • KevinFournierKevinFournier
    In the same manner that you can use a comma or tab as a delimiter if you utilize the Field, Insert, and Delete functions. I can't speak to the history of those delimiters, but in OI, they are not "official" delimiters in that there are no @ variables to conveniently access them. I never use them, and I forget they exists until posts like these remind me.

    There is the OI function SetNoOfDelimiters (or the NO_OF_DELIMITERS or DELIMCOUNT properties in SYSTEM) that can be used to override this. It's useful if you have highly structured configuration records, for example.

    Cheers to both for the clarification and additional info :)
