- First character in is character number 1. By default is assumed to be 1 and is optional.
- FIND is used with languages that use the single-byte character set(SBCS).
- FINDB is used with languages that use the double-byte character set (DBCS).
- The default language of your computer will result in the return value
is character number 1. By default - counts each character. It wont depend on default language setting.
- counts double-byte character as 2.
