FromAnsi

Description

Converts a blob containing an ANSI character string to a Unicode
string.

Syntax

FromAnsi ( blob )

1	FromAnsi ( blob )

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

Return value

String.

Returns a character string if it succeeds and an empty string if it
fails.

Usage

The FromAnsi function converts an ANSI character string contained in
a blob to a Unicode character string.

FromAnsi has the same result as String(blob, EncodingANSI!) and will
be obsolete in a future release of PowerBuilder.

Unicode files sometimes have two extra bytes at the start of the
file to indicate that they are Unicode files.
