CPCONVERT( ) Function

  • Article

Converts character or memo fields or character expressions to another code page.

CPCONVERT(nCurrentCodePage, nNewCodePage, cExpression)

Parameters

  • nCurrentCodePage
    Specifies the code page that cExpression is being converted from.

  • nNewCodePage
    Specifies the code page to which cExpression is converted.

  • cExpression
    Specifies the character expression that's converted.

Remarks

Note that CPCONVERT( ) isn't required for normal cross-platform functioning of the product. It is used strictly to access the underlying translation facilities of Visual FoxPro.

For example, if the variable gcCharExpr contains a character that looks like on the Macintosh (in code page 10000) then CPCONVERT( ) will return a character that looks like in Microsoft Windows (code page 1252):

CPCONVERT(10000, 1252, gcCharExpr)
