CPCONVERT( ) Function
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 ä on the Macintosh (in code page 10000) then CPCONVERT( ) will return a character that looks like ä in Microsoft Windows (code page 1252):
CPCONVERT(10000, 1252, gcCharExpr)
