What is RAP ? 1
What is RAP ?
RAP (Report Application Pascal) is the programming language that is used into the reports generator for
OroTimesheet 7. Most of the time, when you use the reports generator to build your own reports, you
dont have to use RAP. However, using RAP allows you to create more dynamics reports. For example,
you can use RAP to display or hide sections of a report depending on the values of specific fields or
simply displaying information in different colors or make special calculations when specifics conditions are
met. RAP language gives you access to all properties, events, bands, objects and data of the reports.
You can even add new objects dynamically into your reports using RAP.
The RAP language is an object oriented programming language and is identical to the Delphis Object
Pascal. If you know Object Pascal, you automatically know RAP. If you dont know Object Pascal, the
RAP programming language will be easy to learn if you already know another programming language. If
you dont know programming, we recommend you to start learning RAP with somebody who knows about
programming.

Overview of the interface 2
Overview of the interface
RAP programming is made from the Calc tab when editing a report. The Calc workspace is a
development environment that is designed for ease of use. The Code Explorer offers varied views of the
report code module; the Code Editor is a syntax-sensitive Pascal editor; the Code Toolbox serves double
duty, providing both a partial list of supported identifiers as well as a drag & drop code creation facility.
The Calc tab

The Calc workspace is the development environment for RAP. The Calc workspace contains the following
sections: The Code Explorer, the Code Editor, the Code Toolbox and the Message Window.
The Code Explorer

The Code Explorer is contained in the upper left and right panes of the Calc workspace. The left pane
contains a tree view . Use this to navigate your report's code. The right pane contains a list view. It will
display a variety of items depending on what is selected in the tree view. By right clicking on the tree you
can display a context menu that allows you to control the behavior of the Code Explorer.
If you select Variables, the tree will display the bands of the report. When you click on a band, all
variables contained in the band will be displayed. Selecting an individual variable causes the Code Editor
to display the OnCalc event handler, if one exists.
If you select Events, the tree will display all components in the report. Selecting an individual component
allows you to see all of the events for that component. When you select an event, the Code Editor will
display the event handler, if one exists.
If you select Module, the tree will display module level items: Declarations, Events, Programs (procedures
and functions) and Event Handlers. The items displayed in the list view will depend on what is selected in
the tree. Likewise, the Code Editor will display code appropriate to what is selected in the list view.
With Declarations selected in the tree, the list view will show constants and variables. Select either item to
enter declarations in the Code Editor.
With Events selected in the tree, the Module level events (OnCreate and OnDestroy) will be shown.
Select either to edit the code for these events.
With Programs selected in the tree, the list view lists any Module level procedures or functions you have
defined. Use the Code Editor to edit these programs.
With Event Handlers selected in the tree, the list view displays any events in the report that have handlers
assigned. Use the Code Editor to edit these handlers.
The Code Editor

The Code Editor is the place where you actually write and modify RAP code. This syntax-sensitive editor
is similar to the one found in Delphi, with the exception that it displays only one procedure at a time.
Whatever the currently selected item is (event handler, procedure, function, variable declarations, etc.),
only the code for that item is displayed in the Code Editor.
When an item is selected, the editor will either contain the code implementation, or will be blank (if no
implementation exists). If no implementation exists, you can create one by clicking in the editor. You can

then enter code by either typing or by dragging items from the Code Toolbox and dropping them into the
editor. If an item is dropped into the editor over a section of selected code, the selected code will be
replaced.
The Code Editor's context menu contains the following items:
New
New has the same effect as clicking in the Code Editor. It is only enabled if there is no implementation for
the item currently selected in the Code Explorer.
Compile
Compile activates the RAP compiler to attempt to compile the current procedure and any procedures
upon which the current one depends.
Save
The Calc workspace maintains an intermediate buffer for the Code Editor. Selecting Save will commit the
current contents of the Code Editor to the buffer; it will not save the entire report. Selecting Save has the
same effect as navigating away from, and then returning to the current procedure.
Revert
Use Revert to replace the contents of the Code Editor with what is currently contained in the code buffer.
This has the effect of removing all changes since the last save.
Delete
Select Delete to remove the current procedure entirely.
The Code Toolbox

The Code Toolbox is a visual code repository. It contains most of the identifiers and code elements that
the RAP compiler recognizes. The Code Toolbox enables you to:
- View identifiers grouped by available data, visible object properties or language features
- Generate code by dragging identifiers into the Code Editor. Functions dragged into the editor will
generate a place-holder parameter list. For example, the following code is generated when you drag
the Copy function into the Code Editor:
Copy(S, Index, Count);
Each tab of the Code Toolbox consists of a tree view and a list of identifiers. The tree view allows you to
navigate groups of identifiers listed on each tab. Identifiers listed in the Toolbox will also display relevant
information such as Type, Size, Signature, etc.
The Message Window

Messages from the compiler are presented here. You can navigate to the location of compiler errors by
double-clicking the error message.
The Variables View

The Variables view of the Code Explorer is displayed by right-clicking the left pane and selecting
Variables from the context menu.

This view displays the bands of the report and any variables contained in the currently selected band.
Selecting a variable displays the OnCalc event handler, if one exists. The OnCalc handler is presented
without the signature, as:
Value :=
For an explanation of the triangular icons which appear on the tree view, see the Events View.
The Events View

The Events view of the Code Explorer is displayed by right-clicking the left pane and selecting Events
from the context menu.
This view displays a listing of all components contained within the report. The right pane displays any
events associated with the currently selected component. Selecting an event will display the event
handler, if one exists.
This view is good for viewing all report objects and their events.
In the tree view, you will notice small arrow shaped images to the left of some nodes. These are
Compilation State Indicators. They are used to tell you where your code is and what state it is in. There
are five possible indicators:
- No symbol. Indicates that this component does not have any event handlers assigned, nor does it
contain any components which have event handlers.
- White arrow with red border. Indicates that this component does not have any event handlers, but
contains components which do. The red color indicates that one or more of the nested components
has event handlers which do not compile.
- Red arrow. Indicates that this component contains event handlers and that somewhere on this branch
there is code that does not compile. If there is no code contained in components below this one, then
the problem code is in this component. However, if there is code below this component, the problem
may be in a child component's event handlers, in this component's event handlers or both. Note: If a

child component's code does not compile, the parent component will still display a red arrow even
though its own code may compile.
- White arrow with green border. Indicates that this component does not have any event handlers
assigned, but contains other components which do. The green color indicates that the event handlers
of the contained components have compiled successfully.
- Green arrow. Indicates that this component has event handlers assigned. The green color indicates
that these event handlers, and any assigned to components nested within this one, have successfully
compiled.
The Module View

The Module view of the Code Explorer is displayed by right-clicking the left pane and selecting Module
from the context menu.
This view displays items which are visible to all event handlers of the report:
- Declarations: These are variables and constants that are globally visible throughout the report.
- Events: These are, in essence, the report's events. OnCreate and OnDestroy fire when the report is
created and closed, respectively. OnCreate and OnDestroy are good places for initialization and
finalization code such as creating and freeing objects and initializing variables.
- Programs: These are procedures and functions that are globally visible throughout the report and can
therefore be called from any event handler.
- Event Handlers: These are all event handlers that have been implemented in the report.
Note about the Global section

Items declared in the Global section of a report are effectively visible throughout the report and to all child
subreports. When compiling, the compiler tries to resolve all references within the current module. If it
can't find an identifier, it begins looking in the next parent report's global section and continues this up to
the main report.

Programming with RAP 6
Programming with RAP
Overview
When displaying and/or printing reports, some events are always fired. You can write lines of code to
make specific actions or calculations when these events are fired. For example, when you print a report,
an event called OnPrint is fired before printing each object of the report. For example, if into your report
you have an object which prints an amount, you could use the OnPrint event of this object to write some
lines of code to indicate which color the amount will be printed depending of its value. For example, if the
amount is less than zero, you could print the amount in red and in black if the amount is equal or greater
than zero. Here is an example of RAP of how you could do this (We suppose that the amount object is
named MyAmount) :
If MyAmount.FieldValue < 0 Then

MyAmount.Font.Color := clRed
Else
MyAmount.Font.Color := clBlack;
The first line check if the value of the MyAmount object is less than 0. Its done by using the FieldValue
property of the MyAmount object. If the value is less than 0, the program automatically jump to the line 2.
If the value is not less than 0, the program automatically jump to the line 4. When programming with
RAP, the red color is called clRed and the black color clBlack. The color is affected to the Color
property of the Font property of the MyAmount object. The Font property represents the font to use for
this object while the Color property indicate the color to use for the font.
Each object of a report have properties, events and methods.
A property is a specific characteristic of an object. For example, the Font property of the MyAmount
object indicate the font to use for this object. These properties can have themselves properties like the
Color property of the Font property of the MyAmount object.
An event is an action automatically fired at a given time. You can uses events to interact with your report.
For example, the OnPrint event of the MyAmount object is fired each time the MyAmount object is printed.
A Method is a procedure or function associated to an object such as the Free method of the MyAmount
object. Typing the following line of code,
MyAmount.Free;
will free the MyAmount object. Note that most of the time, only the Create and Free methods will be used
to add or remove objects dynamically to your reports.
In addition to reports objects, each band and the report itself have their own properties, events and
methods. To know events of an object, from the Calc tab, select the desired object from the Report
objects section and the available events of this object will be displayed in the Events section. To know
properties and methods of an object, from the Calc tab, select the desired object from the Code Toolbox:
Report objects section and the available properties and methods of this object will be displayed in the
section below. Note that you can select an object property or method and drag it into the code editor.
The code of this object will be automatically generated without typing anything.

Procedures and functions
Declaring Local variables

Local variable declarations in RAP are just the same as in Object Pascal. To add a local variable
declaration to a function, activate the Code Editor for the current item and place the cursor between the
function's declaration and the begin. Type var and declare your variables just as you would in Delphi.
Example :
function MyFunctionTest: Integer;

var
MyVariable1: Integer;
MyVariable2: String;
begin
...
Declaring Local constants

Local constant declarations in RAP are just the same as in Object Pascal. To add a local constant
declaration to a function, activate the Code Editor for the current item and place the cursor between the
function's declaration and the begin. Type const and declare your constants just as you would in
Delphi.
Example :

const
MyConstant1 = 25;
MyConstant2 = 'This is a test';
begin
...
Example 2 (Constants and variables):

const
MyConstant1 = 25;
MyConstant2 = 'This is a test';
var
MyVariable1: Integer;
MyVariable2: String;
begin
...
Calling Procedures and Functions

Calling a function in RAP is no different than in Object Pascal. As long as the function is in scope, you
can call it.
Note: When calling a parent report's global function from within a subreport, you do not need to qualify the
identifier with the parent report's name. In other words, if your Main report has a global procedure,

GlobalDoSomething, and you want to call it from within SubReportA's OnCreate event, you do not have to
say Main.GlobalDoSomething. Merely calling GlobalDoSomething will suffice.
Procedure and Function parameters

Function parameter lists are the same in RAP as in Object Pascal.
Note: Because event handlers in RAP cannot apply to more than one event, event handlers in RAP do
not have a Sender parameter in their signature.
Events
Coding an Event Handler

In order to code a new event handler, simply select an event in the Code Explorer and click in the white
space of the Code Editor. Both the signature and the begin/end pair for the event handler will be
generated automatically. You can then begin entering your code. A typical event handler would appear
as:
procedure Variable1OnCalc(var Value: Variant);

begin
end;
Note: When you are working in the Variables view of the Code Explorer, the event handler signature and
begin/end pair will not appear in the Code Editor. You will see only a single line for assigning the Value:
Value :=
In this mode the Code Explorer displays only variables and is, in a sense, equating variables with the
value returned by the OnCalc event.
Compiling Event Handlers

The RAP compiler attempts compilation of the entire module automatically when any of the following
happen:
- You load a report.

- You select the Calc tab within the Report Designer.
- You switch views in the Code Explorer.
It is also possible to compile the currently selected event handler. To do this, right-click over the Code
Editor and select Compile from the popup menu. The compiler will check the global sections and any
other programs needed to compile the current event handler.
Global (Module View)
Programs in RAP
All code in a report is contained in the Code Module. The Code Module contains all the event handlers for
objects contained in the Report. There is also a global section that can contain module level events,

declarations, procedures and functions. This part of the Code Module is visible from the Module view of
the Code Explorer.
The programs and variables declared in the global section of a module are visible to all subreport code
modules in the report.
Declaring Global Variables

To declare a global variable, right-click on the Code Explorer and select Module. The tree view will
change to display the global section.
Click on the Declarations node this will display two items in the list view: Constants and Variables.
Select the Variables item. If you have already declared some variables, they will be displayed in the Code
Editor. If the Code Editor is blank, right-click the Variables item and select New this will activate the
Code Editor and add var to the first line.
Declare your variables using standard Object Pascal syntax.
Declaring Global Constants

To declare a global constant, right-click on the Code Explorer and select Module. The tree view will
change to display the global section.
Click on the Declarations node this will display two items in the list view: Constants and Variables.
Select the Constants item. If you have already declared some constants, they will be displayed in the
Code Editor. If the Code Editor is blank, right-click the Constants item and select New this will activate
the Code Editor and add const to the first line.
Declare your constants using standard Object Pascal syntax.
Declaring Global Procedures and Functions

The global section of the Code Module can contain functions and procedures visible throughout the
module and to any subreports below the current report.
To declare such functions or procedure, right-click on the Code Explorer and select Module. The tree
view will change to display the global section.
Click on the Programs node the list view will display any existent functions and procedures. If you have
not declared any, the list view will be empty.
Right-click on an empty space in the list view note that the first two menu items are New Function and
New Procedure. Selecting either of these items will create a declaration and an implementation stub.

If you select New Function, a new function named GlobalFunction1 will be added to the list view and the
following implementation will be added to the Code Editor:
function GlobalFunction1: Variant;

begin
Result :=
end;
Likewise, if you select New Procedure, a new procedure named GlobalProcedure1 will be added to the
listview and the following implementation will be added to the Code Editor:
procedure GlobalProcedure1;
begin
end;
The Code Toolbox
Overview of the Code Toolbox

The Code Toolbox is a visual code repository. It contains most of the identifiers and code elements that
the RAP compiler recognizes.
The Code Toolbox enables you to:
- View identifiers grouped by available data, visible object properties or language features
- Generate code by dragging identifiers into the Code Editor. Functions dragged into the editor will
generate a place-holder parameter list. For example, the following code is generated when you drag
the Copy function into the Code Editor:
Each tab of the Code Toolbox consists of a tree view and a list of identifiers. The tree view allows you to
navigate groups of identifiers listed on each tab.
Identifiers listed in the Toolbox will also display relevant information such as Type, Size, Signature, etc.
Data tab
The Data tab of the Code Toolbox displays data pipelines and fields, allowing you to drag and drop field
references into the Code Editor.

Selecting a pipeline from the list will display all the fields in that pipeline as well as data type and size
information for the fields.
To insert a field value into the code editing window, select the field and drag it into the Code Editor. The
code necessary to retrieve the field value from the pipeline will be generated. For example, dragging a
field named 'Name from a pipeline named Customers would result in this code:
Customers['Name']
Objects tab
The Objects tab of the Code Toolbox displays report objects, their properties and methods, allowing you
to drag and drop properties and methods into the Code Editor.
Selecting an object from the tree will display a list of that object's properties and methods.
To insert a property or method into the Code Editor, select the property or method and drag it into the
Code Editor. The code necessary to retrieve the value of the property or call the method will be
generated. For example, dragging the 'AutoSize' property from the Code Toolbox pictured above would
result in the following code:
Label1.AutoSize
Language tab
The Language tab of the Code Toolbox displays RAP language elements, allowing you to drag and drop
elements into the Code Editor.

Selecting a category from the tree will display a list of elements for that category.
To insert an element into the Code Editor, select the element and drag it to the Code Editor. The code
necessary to reference or use the element will be generated. Note that when you drop an item such as a
function call, the function's parameter list is provided. For instance, if you drag Copy into the Code Editor,
it will expand as:

Currently Unsupported Elements:

Class declarations
Arrays
Record types
Set types
Note: Since RAP doesn't support Set types, properties to TFont have been added to allow you to set
these values in code. Normally for a Set type property such as TFont.Style, you might use the Include
and Exclude procedures to change its value. In RAP, however, the following boolean properties to TFont
have been added for this purpose: Bold, Italic, Normal, Underline and Strikeout. To set a font
to bold in RAP, you would say something like
MyObject.Font.Bold := True;
Likewise to remove style specifications from a font, you would say
MyObject.Font.Normal := True;
Information non available from the Code toolbox

From the code toolbox, when you select an object, you can see all of its properties. Since properties can
also have their own properties, you cannot see those ones since the code toolbox displays only one level
of information.
For example, from the code toolbox if you select a Label object, you will see all properties of this object.
One of these properties is called Font. Since the Font property has its own properties you cannot see
those properties from the code toolbox.
Here is a list of some properties not available from the code toolbox but you can access with the RAP
language:
Font property:
The font property is used in many object types such as a Label. This property represents the font name to
use, the size, the color and the style of the text for the object.
Color
Color of the font (See the list of standard colors below)
Name
Name of the font (For example Times New Roman)
Size
Size of the font
Bold
If the font is bold (Value True or False)
Italic
If the font is italic (Value True or False)
Underline
If the font is underline (Value True or False)
Strikeout
If the font is strikeout (Value True or False)
Normal
By affecting the value True to this property, the properties Bold, Italic, Underline and Strikeout will
automatically be reset to False.
The following example change the font of the MyAmount object for Times New Roman, bold, size of 12
and blue color.
MyAmount.Font.Name := 'Times New Roman';

MyAmount.Font.Size := 12;
MyAmount.Font.Bold := True;
MyAmount.Font.Color := clBlue;
Brush property (Shape objects):

The Brush property of a shape object represents the color and pattern used to fill the shape. The Brush
property has itself two properties: Color and Style. Use the Color property to define the color of the
pattern and the Style property to define the pattern (the default pattern is bsSolid). See the TBrushStyle
enumerated type to know the list of brush styles (pattern) available.

The following code set the outline color of the shape named Shape1 to red, the brush color to blue and
the brush style to diagonal cross lines. (Note that the outline color of the shape is set by the Pen property.
See the Pen property section for more information.)
Shape1.Pen.Color := clRed;
Shape1.Brush.Color := clBlue;
Shape1.Brush.Style := bsDiagCross;
Result:
Pen property (Shape and Line objects):

The Pen property describes the attributes when drawing a line or the outline of a shape. The Pen property
has itself the following properties: Color, Style, Width. Use color to specify the color of the pen, the Style
to specify the style in which the pen draws lines and Width to specify the width of the pen in pixels. See
the TPenStyle enumerated type to know the list of pen styles available. The following code set the pen
color of the shape named Shape2 to Fuchsia, the pen style to a dot line and the outline width to 1.
Shape2.Pen.Color := clFuchsia;
Shape2.Pen.Style := psDot;
Shape2.Pen.Width := 1;

Declaration
function FormatDateTime(const Format: String; aDateTime: DateTime): String;
Description
Formats a DateTime value. The following format specifiers are supported (See Windows help for more
information about date and time formats):
Specifier:
C
Displays the date using the format given by the Windows short date format, followed by the time using the
format given by the Windows long time format. The time is not displayed if the fractional part of the
DateTime value is zero.
d
Displays the day as a number without a leading zero (1-31).
dd
Displays the day as a number with a leading zero (01-31).
ddd
Displays the day as an abbreviation (Sun-Sat).
dddd
Displays the day as a full name (Sunday-Saturday).
ddddd
Displays the date using the format given by the Windows short date format.
dddddd
Displays the date using the format given by the Windows long date format.

m
Displays the month as a number without a leading zero (1-12). If the m specifier immediately follows an h
or hh specifier, the minute rather than the month is displayed.
mm
Displays the month as a number with a leading zero (01-12). If the mm specifier immediately follows an h
or hh specifier, the minute rather than the month is displayed.
mmm
Displays the month as an abbreviation (Jan-Dec).
mmmm
Displays the month as a full name (January-December).
yy
Displays the year as a two-digit number (00-99).

t
Displays the time using the format given by the Windows short time format.
tt
Displays the time using the format given by the Windows long time format.
am/pm
Uses the 12-hour clock for the preceding h or hh specifier, and displays 'am' for any hour before noon,
and 'pm' for any hour after noon. The am/pm specifier can use lower, upper, or mixed case, and the result
is displayed accordingly.

a/p
Uses the 12-hour clock for the preceding h or hh specifier, and displays 'a' for any hour before noon, and
'p' for any hour after noon. The a/p specifier can use lower, upper, or mixed case, and the result is
displayed accordingly.
ampm
Uses the 12-hour clock for the preceding h or hh specifier, and displays the contents of the Windows AM
symbol for any hour before noon, and the contents of the Windows PM symbol for any hour after noon.
/
Displays the date separator character given by the Windows date separator.
:
Displays the time separator character given by the Windows time separator.
'xx'/"xx"
Characters enclosed in single or double quotes are displayed as-is, and do not affect formatting.
Format specifiers may be written in upper case as well as in lower case letters--both produce the same
result. If the string specified by the Format parameter is empty, the TDateTime value is formatted as if a
'c' format specifier had been given.
Example:
The following example assigns 'The meeting is on Wednesday, February 15, 1995 at 10:30 AM' to the
string variable S.
S := FormatDateTime('"The meeting is on " dddd, mmmm d, yyyy, " at " hh:mm

AM/PM', StrToDateTime('2/15/95 10:30am'));
FormatFloat
Declaration
function FormatFloat(const Format: String; Value: Extended): String;
Description
Formats a floating point value. The following format specifiers are supported (See Windows help for more
information about number and currency formats):
0
Digit place holder. If the value being formatted has a digit in the position where the '0' appears in the
format string, then that digit is copied to the output string. Otherwise, a '0' is stored in that position in the
output string.
#
Digit placeholder. If the value being formatted has a digit in the position where the '#' appears in the
format string, then that digit is copied to the output string. Otherwise, nothing is stored in that position in
the output string.
.
Decimal point. The first '.' character in the format string determines the location of the decimal separator
in the formatted value; any additional '.' characters are ignored. The actual character used as a the
decimal separator in the output string is determined by the Windows decimal separator specified in the
Number Format of the International section in the Windows Control Panel.

,
Thousand separator. If the format string contains one or more ',' characters, the output will have thousand
separators inserted between each group of three digits to the left of the decimal point. The placement and
number of ',' characters in the format string does not affect the output, except to indicate that thousand
separators are wanted. The actual character used as a the thousand separator in the output is
determined by the Windows thousand separator specified in the Number Format of the International
section in the Windows Control Panel.
E+
Scientific notation. If any of the strings 'E+', 'E-', 'e+', or 'e-' are contained in the format string, the number
is formatted using scientific notation. A group of up to four '0' characters can immediately follow the 'E+',
'E-', 'e+', or 'e-' to determine the minimum number of digits in the exponent. The 'E+' and 'e+' formats
cause a plus sign to be output for positive exponents and a minus sign to be output for negative
exponents. The 'E-' and 'e-' formats output a sign character only for negative exponents.
'xx'/"xx"
Characters enclosed in single or double quotes are output as-is, and do not affect formatting.
;
Separates sections for positive, negative, and zero numbers in the format string.
The locations of the leftmost '0' before the decimal point in the format string and the rightmost '0' after the
decimal point in the format string determine the range of digits that are always present in the output
string.
The number being formatted is always rounded to as many decimal places as there are digit placeholders
('0' or '#') to the right of the decimal point. If the format string contains no decimal point, the value being
formatted is rounded to the nearest whole number.
If the number being formatted has more digits to the left of the decimal separator than there are digit
placeholders to the left of the '.' character in the format string, the extra digits are output before the first
digit placeholder.
To allow different formats for positive, negative, and zero values, the format string can contain between
one and three sections separated by semicolons.
- One section: The format string applies to all values.
- Two sections: The first section applies to positive values and zeros, and the second section applies to
negative values.
- Three sections: The first section applies to positive values, the second applies to negative values,
and the third applies to zeros.
If the section for negative values or the section for zero values is empty, that is if there is nothing between
the semicolons that delimit the section, the section for positive values is used instead.
The following table shows some sample formats and the results produced when the formats are applied
to different values:
Format string 1234 -1234 0.5 0
0 1234 -1234 1 0
0.00 1234.00 -1234.00 0.50 0.00
#.## 1234 -1234 .5
#,##0.00 1,234.00 -1,234.00 0.50 0.00

#.###E-0 1.234E3 -1.234E3 5E-1 0E0
FormatMaskText
Declaration
function FormatMaskText(const EditMask: String; const Value: String): String;
Description
Returns a string formatted using an edit mask. Call FormatMaskText to apply the mask specifed by the
EditMask parameter to the text string specified by the Value parameter. The edit mask string consists of
three fields with semicolons separating them. The first part of the mask is the mask itself. The second part
is the character that determines whether the literal characters of the mask are matched to characters in
the Value parameter or are inserted into the Value string. The third part of the mask is the character used
to represent missing characters in the mask.
These are the special characters used in the first field of the mask:
Character:
!
If a ! character appears in the mask, optional characters are represented in the returned string as leading
blanks. If a ! character is not present, optional characters are represented in the returned string as trailing
blanks.
>
If a > character appears in the mask, all characters that follow are in uppercase until the end of the mask
or until a < character is encountered.
<
If a < character appears in the mask, all characters that follow are in lowercase until the end of the mask
or until a > character is encountered.
<>
If these two characters appear together in a mask, no case checking is done and the data is formatted
with the case present in the Value parameter.
\
The character that follows a \ character is a literal character. Use this character to use any of the mask
special characters as a literal.
L
The L character requires an alphabetic character only in this position. For the US, this is A-Z, a-z.
l
The l character permits only an alphabetic character in this position, but doesn't require it.
A
The A character requires an alphanumeric character only in this position. For the US, this is A-Z, a-z, 0-9.
a
The a character permits an alphanumeric character in this position, but doesn't require it.

C
The C character requires an arbitrary character in this position.
c
The c character permits an arbitrary character in this position, but doesn't require it.
0
The 0 character requires a numeric character only in this position.
9
The 9 character permits a numeric character in this position, but doesn't require it.
#
The # character permits a numeric character or a plus or minus sign in this position, but doesn't require it.
:
The : character is used to separate hours, minutes, and seconds in times. If the character that separates
hours, minutes, and seconds is different in the regional settings of the Windows Control Panel, that
character is substituted in the returned string.
/
The / character is used to separate months, days, and years in dates. If the character that separates
months, days, and years is different in the regional settings of the Windows Control Panel, that character
is substituted in the returned string.
;
The ; character is used to separate the three fields of the mask.
_
The _ character automatically inserts spaces into the returned string.
Any character that does not appear in the preceding table can appear in the first part of the mask as a
literal character. Literal characters are inserted automatically if the second field of the mask is 0, or
matched to characters in the Value parameter if the second field is any other value. The special mask
characters can also appear as literal characters if preceded by a backslash character (\).
The second field of the mask is a single character that indicates whether literal characters from the mask
are included in the Value parameter. For example, the mask for a telephone number with area code could
be the following string:
(000)_000-0000;0;*
The 0 in the second field indicates that the Value parameter should consist of the 10 digits of the phone
number, rather than the 14 characters that make up the final formatted string.
A 0 in the second field indicates that literals are inserted into the Value string, any other character
indicates that they should be included.
The third field of the mask is the character that appears in the returned string for blanks (characters that
do not appear in Value). By default, this is the same as the character that stands for literal spaces. The
two characters appear the same in the returned string.
