IsAlpha

Syntax

bool IsAlpha (StrParam)

Parameters

An integer (0-100) indicating the minimum percentage of characters that must be alphabetic. If no value is provided, the percentage defaults to 100; all characters must be alphabetic. Smart parameters are supported.

Returns

True if the minimum percentage of characters specified by the parameter is alphabetic. Otherwise, False.

Level

Page or field level.

Details

Using the current location of a previously located word or phrase, this action determines if the characters are alphabetic. By testing the type of characters recognized in the current word or phrase, it is possible for an application to determine it has located the type of data that is required, and then take subsequent actions based on the result of the test. Regardless of being called at the page or field level, this action operates on the recognized text for the current page.

Example

FindKey(Name)
GoRightWord("1")
IsAlpha("100")

If the located word's recognized value is: ABC1

IsAlpha("75") returns True

IsAlpha("80") returns False
