WMLEncodeNOCRLF

See Also: Web Application Helper Functions

Purpose

Returns a string encoded so that its content will not be interpreted by a WAP browser as special WML formatting characters.

Return Type

String

Syntax

Use WMLEncode.pkg
(WMLEncodeNOCRLF({string-value}))

What It Does

Before field data is passed to an Active Server Page (ASP) file, you will often want to make sure that the data is properly encoded so that the text will not be interpreted by the WAP browser as special WML formatting characters.

Without some kind of conversion, embedded tags will be interpreted by your browser.

Examples

Procedure Test
    string sText
    // initialize sText with a string value
End_Procedure  // Test

Send WriteWml(
    WMLEncodeNoCRLF(sText)
)

Notes

The reason that most Write messages are not automatically encoded is so you can embed custom WML encoding in your output strings.

It is very important that you remember to encode your data or your resulting WML output may be undesirable.
