nfbeerse Posted September 24, 2003 Report Share Posted September 24, 2003 Hello, On the maps the province of GibraltAr is written with an A. In the orderentry program, it is written with an E. What is the correct notation? Norbert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTGRuss Posted September 24, 2003 Report Share Posted September 24, 2003 I believe "A" is the correct spelling In this case in doesn't really matter as the programs only use the first five letters of a given province/city name (not counting the 'x' used to differentiate between cities and provinces) so the code is going to see "gibra" or "xgibra" regardless. The map was designed so that the first five letters of a province/city name are unique. This was a design concept from the days when we had to key in 100% of the turns ourselves - a shortcut for data entry. Russ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nfbeerse Posted September 24, 2003 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2003 Thanks Russ, I thought it should be an A, but the entry program wrote it with an E Norbert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
