I am using gps 5.2.1 with utf-8 encoding in the editor. I tried to write a =
simple routine to strip the diacritical marks from Polish texts. When execu=
ting a test program, I got the "translation_error" message, and it turned o=
ut that the string consisting of Polish letters was treated as double the p=
roper length. You can try for yourself: with
s: string :=3D "=F3";
we get s'length=3D2. Where is the hook? Is it a compiler error, gps error, =
or my own one?
