The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.

For me, I don't know... particularly since a " valid result" of %DEC and %INT could actually be -1.
How would you know the difference?
I guess you're talking about Jon's second proposal, where you pick a
default value to use if the parse fails.
The answer is: you wouldn't know the difference. The whole point is to
pick a default value that either you know isn't in the data, or you
know it doesn't matter if it matches some other data. If you can't
pick a sensible default value, then you omit that parameter, and let
the parse fail with an error.
