@Middle appears to work differently

I have the following formula as part of button@Middle(“ID104 Request”;0;" -")

in R5 this formula returns

“ID104 Request”

in D6 the formula returns

“”

has anyone else experienced this… My understanding is that it should be returning the full string

Why are you using two literal strings with this formula ? That doesn’t make sense.

well Charles i tested ur Query on R5 and R6 and found it to be true. I think that the approach being followed in R6 is correct becoz if the required string does not exist then a null (as now) must be returned.

Subject: @Middle no longer working differently?

Could it be possible that Lotus has fixed this “bug”? I tested @Middle in R6.5.1 and it now returns again the full string as it did in R5. The release notes an the designer help don’t say anything about a change concerning this formula…
