ToAnsi

PowerScript function

Description

Converts a character string to an ANSI blob.

Syntax

ToAnsi ( string )

1	ToAnsi ( string )

Argument	Description
string	A character string you want to convert to an ANSI blob

Return value

Blob.

Returns an ANSI blob if it succeeds and an empty blob if it
fails.

Usage

The ToAnsi function converts a Unicode character string to an ANSI
blob. ToAnsi has the same result as Blob(string, EncodingANSI!) and will
be obsolete in a future version 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.
