Iconv Function

Converts a string to an internal storage format.

Syntax

Iconv (string, code [ @VM code ] ... )

string evaluates to the string to be converted. If string is a null value, null is returned.

code is a conversion code and must be quoted. Multiple conversion codes must be separated by value marks. Multiple codes are applied from left to right. The second code converts the output of the first, and so on. If code is a null value, it generates a runtime error.
