Andreas Guelzow commented on OFFICE-1895:
------------------------------------------
So in this description, bytes are not bytes and characters are not characters?
If bytes refers to UTF-8 frames in UTF encoding, or UTF-16 frames in UTF 16 encoding then what is the difference between RIGHT and RIGHTB?
The bytes returned _must_ deliver something that fits into the types defined within OpenFormula. So if they *might* not deliver a representation of an exact sequence of characters, what is the return type?
> RIGHTB and friends is incompletely specified

> Project: OASIS Open Document Format for Office Applications (OpenDocument) TC
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: OpenFormula
> Affects Versions: ODF 1.2
> Reporter: Andreas Guelzow
>
> 6.6.6 RIGHTB
> Summary: Return a selected number of text characters from the right, using byte position.
> This description fails to indicate what happens in the likely situation that the selected bytes do not form a complete character sequence. Should that be an error or move to a correct position?
> Similarly for the otehr ...B functions
