Return Values
String. Returns a character string if

Usage
The FromUnicode function converts a Unicode
blob to a Unicode character string and has the same result as String(blob).
This function will be obsolete in a future release of PowerBuilder.
Unicode file format
Unicode files sometimes have two extra bytes at the start
of the file to indicate that they are Unicode files. If you are
opening a Unicode file in stream mode, skip the first two bytes
if they are present.
