CONVERTANSITOOEM( string )
| CONVERTANSITOOEM | Translates ANSI strings to OEM ASCII. |
| string | The label of the string to convert. This may be a single variable or a any structure that is treated as a GROUP (RECORD, QUEUE, etc.). |
The CONVERTANSITOOEM statement translates either a single string or the strings within a GROUP from the ANSI (Windows display) character set into the OEM character set (ASCII with extra characters defined by the active code page).
This procedure is not required on data files if the OEM attribute is set on the file.
Example:
Customer FILE,DRIVER('Clarion'),PRE(Cus) !Declare file without OEM attribute
AcctKey KEY(Cus:AcctNumber)
Record RECORD
AcctNumber LONG
OrderNumber LONG
Name STRING(20)
Addr STRING(20)
END
END
Win WINDOW,SYSTEM
STRING(@s20),USE(Cus:Name)
END
