What's that :U following a character literal? for TranMan
Beginning with Version 7 of PROGRESS, code supplied with the product
and generated by the UIB will contain character literals with :U
appended. This optional qualifier specifies that the string is
untranslatable by the Translation Manager product. Any string with
this option specified will be ignored when the Translation Manager
searches for strings to be translated. If you do not specify :U,
then the string is assumed to be translatable. Text defined with the
INITIAL option cannot be designated as untranslatable.
The syntax for the :U option is as follows:
"text":U
If you are not planning to use Translation Manager to translate
character strings into other languages, you can omit this option
when using character-string literals in your application.
There are other options which can be combined following the colon
(:) and these are documented in the Language Reference manual as well.
