Product Area: Designer; R5/R6 Interoperability Technical Area: @functions Platform: Cross Platform
SPR# MCHG5DTENB - In R4/R5, when the offset parameter of the @Middle formula is a negative number, a blank string is correctly returned. In R6 the offset counts from "right to left" and returns the number of characters designated by the last parameter - fixed this problem such that a blank string is returned in R6 also. This regression was introduced in 6.0 and fixed in 6.0.3, 6.0.2 CF2, and 6.0.1 CF3.

SPR# MCHG5DTENB - In R4/R5, when the offset parameter of the @Middle formula is
a negative number, a blank string is correctly returned. In R6 the offset
counts from "right to left" and returns the number of characters designated by
the last parameter - fixed this problem such that a blank string is returned in
R6 also. This regression was introduced in 6.0 and fixed in 6.0.3, 6.0.2 CF2,
and 6.0.1 CF3.
Workaround:
Check to see if the offset is negative prior to calling @Middle. For example:
@If(offset<0;"";@Middle(inputstring, offset, numberofchars))
