Conversion Functoids Reference

 

Use Conversion functoids to perform a variety of standard character and numeric base conversion calculations.

Important

Because Microsoft BizTalk Server uses the underlying functionality of the .NET Framework, the results produced by some of the Conversion functoids vary from the equivalent functoids in earlier versions of BizTalk Server. For example, in earlier versions of BizTalk Mapper an input value of -20 to the Hexadecimal functoid resulted in an output of FFEC. In this version, the same input value of -20 results in an output of FFFFFFEC. You should test your maps thoroughly to ensure that you are getting the results you expect.

For conceptual information about Conversion functoids, see Conversion Functoids.

The following table shows the functoids in the Conversion category.
