Row generator, string for alphabet algorithm

Post by fmou »

Hi,

I my Row generator, I choose the alphabet algorithm, and give 'abcdefghij1234567890' as its string. This works. Then I give 'abcdefghij', and it works too.

Now, when I give it '1234567890', the job aborted, saying '1234567890' is invalid. How can I make it works?

Thanks

Although it's not documented anywhere, I believe that the alphabet string must either begin with, or contain, at least one alphabetic character. I can't remember which.
