Description andrew 2003-09-01 17:41:04 UTC 
The Put statement can not write a boolean with a True value and Strings with
Unicode values greater than 255 are not properly written.

OOo BASIC stores a Boolean in an integer. The True value has all of the bits set
which incorrectly cast down to one byte causing a runtime error. False writes
with no problem.

Each character is one byte. Characters with an ASCII value larger than 255 are
written with incomplete data.

definitely not API, looks like StarBASIC runtime to me
Comment 2 ab 2003-09-03 15:35:27 UTC 
-> OOo 2.0

According to the roadmap of  OpenOffice.org 2.0
(http://tools.openoffice.org/releases/q-concept.html) this
issue has been scheduled for 3.0.

I use German OOo2.0.1 on German WinXP home.

Here put- and get-statement convert the characters to/from codepade "Window
1252", characters which are not in that code are converted to quotationmarks. So
you can use promille ‰ (u2030 = win1252 hex89) but not fraction ⅞ (u215E).
