Member of String Intrinsic Functions (PRIM_LIBI.IStringIntrinsics)
| Name | Type | Data Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Result | *Result (Optional) | Boolean | Resulting Boolean |
| FalseCaption | *Input (Optional) | String | Value to use as the false value |
| TrueCaption | *Input (Optional) | String | Value to use as the true value |
AsBoolean converts a variable to a Boolean. By default, AsBoolean expects to receive a true or false string. Any other value will result in a runtime error. Optionally, you can override the defaults and specify the true and false values to be evaluated using the TrueCaption and FalseCaption parameters.
In this example, Asboolean expects a string value of Y or N
#Button.enabled := #String.AsBoolean(N Y)
This is equivalent to writing
Case of_Field(#String) When (= Y) #Button.enabled := True When (= N) #Button.enabled := False Endcase
