Converts a character string to an ANSI blob.
ToAnsi ( string )
Argument |
Description |
|---|---|
string |
A character string you want to convert to an ANSI blob |
Blob. Returns an ANSI blob if it succeeds and an empty blob if it fails.
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
