Hello,

is there any function to reverse a string

(like: String_1= "ABC", String_2="CBA") ?

In other programming languages there are special functions for that but I haven't figured out a function solving this problem in Nav.

    There is no predefined function for that, but you can write it yourself:
    J := 0;
FOR I := STRLEN(YourText) DOWNTO 1 DO BEGIN
  J += 1;
  ReverseText[J] := YourText[I];
END;

    Hi Chap.

    Navision is not a programming language, its and ERP product with an integrated development environment. Please don't go down the path of looking for C++ and Fortran and Prolog constructs or you will just end out banging your head against a wall.

    Work with NAV and you will grow to love it. :mrgreen:

    This code works perfectly well
    [code][
    J := 0;
    FOR I := STRLEN(YourText) DOWNTO 1 DO BEGIN
    J += 1;
    ReverseText[J] := YourText;
    END;
    /code]

    Any I deas how to make it work with an array? YourText[k])
    FOR I := STRLEN(YourText[k]) DOWNTO 1 DO BEGIN
    J += 1;
    ReverseText[k][J] := YourText;
    END;
