RIGHTB(Text, Number_bytes)
where,
- Text is a text string containing characters to extract,
- Number_bytes represents the number of characters to be extracted.
RIGHTB() displays the last character or characters from a text string, depending on specified number of bytes.
Description
RIGHTB(Text, Number_bytes)
e.g. RIGHTB("String123",3) displays 123 as a result.
- RIGHTB counts 2 bytes per character when system is set to language supporting DBCS, else counts 1 byte per character.
- RIGHTB works with the languages that use 'Double Byte Character Set' (DBCS).
- Text can be any string containing characters, numbers, symbols, blank spaces etc.
- If argument Text is directly entered in the command, it should be enclosed in double quotes (e.g. "Name").
- Argument Number_bytes indicates the number of byte characters to be displayed from a text string. Number_bytes should be >0.
- If Number_bytes > 'length of text', Calci displays the entire text.
- If Number_bytes is omitted, Calci assumes it to be 1.
Examples
