Functions on IndexStrings

IndexStrings are strings whose sort order can be defined using an index number. The value of the IndexString can be language-dependent. In addition, the IndexString can have a different, stable, internal designation (the "code"), which is relevant for MM-Talk comparisons. IndexStrings are mainly used in the context of asset classes and enumerations in the context of user-defined fields and MM-Talk parameters.

IndexString.Code→String

Result: The Code function returns the internal name of the designated object, the abbreviation or the original designation before translation.

IndexString.Index→number

Result: The Index function returns the index number of an IndexString.

String.IndexedString[Index:Number;Code:String]→IndexString

Result: The IndexedString function returns the IndexString for string, index number and optionally code.

IndexString.String→String

Result: The String function returns the string without an index number.
