DECRYPT

Takes a string as input and returns the decrypted value of the string.

Syntax

String := DECRYPT(Str)  

Parameters

Str
Value: Text or Code

The input string that will be decrypted.

Property Value/Return Value

Value: Text or Code

The output string that is decrypted.

Exceptions

If encryption is not enabled or the encryption key does not exist, the following error will be displayed: An encryption key is required to complete the request. If decryption failed because input data could not be decrypted, the following error will be displayed: Unable to decrypt data. The data was encrypted using a different key.

Example

This code example checks whether the tenant is configured to allow encryption using the ENCRYPTIONENABLED function, and then it decrypts an encrypted text string.

This example requires that you create the following text constants: EncryptedText and PlainText.

IF NOT ENCRYPTIONENABLED THEN  
        ERROR('Encryption has not been enabled.');  
      PlainText := DECRYPT(EncryptedText);
