MEMCONVERT

MEMCONVERT converts the data in a source buffer from the specified source codepage to a specified target codepage, stores the result in a target buffer, and returns a size_t ¹ value that indicates the number of bytes that are written to the target buffer. It will also take an optional parameter t that specifies the technique to use in the conversion.

p

Address of the target buffer.

n

Length of the target buffer.

c

Target code page.

q

Address of the source buffer.

m

Length of the source buffer.

d

Source code page.

t

A character string or variable that names the technique to use in the conversion. t is of length 8 or less.

The buffer lengths must be nonnegative and must have a computational type. The buffer lengths are converted to type size_t.

If either buffer length is zero, the result is zero.

The code page must have a computational type and is converted to type FIXED BINARY (31,0). The code page must specify a valid, supported code page.
