UUEncode (stream,encoded-stream) Returns status
Note: The flag is set according to whether Omnis was able to make a call to this external command.
This Web command is multi-threaded, allowing another thread to execute in the multi-threaded server while it runs. Note that the same socket cannot safely be used concurrently by more than one thread.
UUEncode turns a stream into an encoded stream of ASCII characters. The encoded version is approximately 1.25 times larger than the original and can be decoded using UUDecode.
Stream is an Omnis Character or Binary field containing the information to UUEncode.
Encoded-Stream is an Omnis Character or Binary field that receives the resulting Uuencoded representation of the Stream parameter.
Status is an Omnis Long Integer field which receives the value zero for success, or an error code < 0 for failure. Possible error codes are listed in the Web Command Error Codes Appendix.
# encode the contents of the character variable lString to get lEncodedString
Calculate lString as 'This is my character string to encode'
UUEncode (lString,lEncodedString) Returns lErrCode
