Description |
|---|---|
blob |
A blob containing a Unicode character string you want to convert to a string in the file format of the current version of PowerBuilder |
String. Returns a character string if it succeeds and an empty string if it fails.
The FromUnicode function converts a Unicode blob to a Unicode character string and has the same result as String(blob). This function will be obsolete in a future release 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.
