See Also: Utf8ToOEM, String Functions

Purpose

Converts a string encoded in the OEM character format to UTF-8.

Return Type

String

Syntax

Use CharTranslate.pkg
(OemToUtf8({stringValue}))

Where:

  • {stringValue} is an OEM encoded string.

What It Does

DataFlex strings are, by default, encoded as UTF-8. When working with external APIs or when importing data, it is sometimes necessary to convert strings from OEM to UTF-8.

Examples

Procedure Test
    String sOemString sValue
    // Move an OEM encoded string to sOemString
    Move (OemToUtf8(sOemString)) to sValue
End_Procedure
