|

This has been buggin' me for some time. I am not using an English version of Win and it's
quite irritating that VDS is not using the computer LOCALE to handle string functions like @UPPER(),
@LOWER(), @EQUAL(), UNEQUAL@(). It means that some special characters in my native
language (which are BTW very common) are not handled correctly with these functions: VDS
cannot convert between lowercase/uppercase and for comparing the EXACT parameter cannot
be used coz comparing will always be exact.
Some of this can be done in API but VDS should really respect the LOCALE for handling stuff
like this.
