<@COMMENT> Use this section to configure MB_String. <@COMMENT> There is nothing to configure yet... <@COMMENT> Because of problems passing 8-bit characters cleanly to and from Tango, you have to choose between 2 inelegant kludges. 0) Do nothing and hope for the best... 1) Convert all characters into numerical form, and pass the numbers to Java in a long delimited string. 2) Write the text to a file, then have java read that file. As of 2002-04-23, only (1) has been implemented. I propose that there will be three modes: 0) direct - Pass strings direct to Java, assuming that Tango has encoded bytes as ISO-1859_1. This doesn't work for me... 1) numeric - Convert all characters into numerical form, and pass the numbers to Java in a long delimited string. I recommend this for short strings. 2) file - Write strings to a file, then have the Java bean slurp them up and write them back to another file. 3) mixed - Use numeric for short strings and file for long ones. <@ASSIGN instance$dataTransferMode "numeric"> ]]>

This sets the main string we're playing with. Other strings, such as substrings to be used in comparisons, are set elsewhere. ]]>

The Tango file action automatically assigns to a local variable. It's possible that a single taf will call this class file twice, ...so there's a risk that the local variables will tread on each other. To minimize this risk, copy the old value of the local variable, use it, assign the result to a method variable and restore the old value of the local var. ]]>
