How to Find/Avoid Back Slashes in a String

By | August 9, 2017

Sage X3 latest versions provide a new feature to add back slash () in a string.

Basically, a string can contain any characters. But, some special characters like back slashes are not allowed in JSON constant in Sage X3.

The use of this function is to add the back slash () character in a string. If there exists any back slashe in JSON constant(a string of characters), to circumvent/avoid these back slashes that cannot be present in a JSON constant (“, \, tab, or CR), these function is preferred.

The syntax for the same is as follows:

Syntax:

DEST_STRING=escjson(SOURCE_STRING)

• DEST_STRING has type Clbfile or Char.
• SOURCE_STRING has type Clbfile or Char.

Example:

Local Char YRESULT(100),YCONSTANT(100)
YCONSTANT=’This statement contains back\slash’
YRESULT=escjson(YCONSTANT)
infbox YRESULT

Output:

Find Avoid Back Slashes
