TRX( ) |
Convert Radix-40 to ASCII |
TRX(rdx_40$[,ERR=stmtref])
Where:
|
rdx_40$ |
Character string containing Radix-40 data. |
|
stmtref |
Program line number or statement label to which to transfer control. |
ASCII equivalent of given Radix-40 data.
The TRX( ) function converts data from Radix-40 to normal ASCII. The input to this function is generally the result of a call to the RDX( ) function, which performs the inverse of converting ASCII to Radix-40. Radix-40 lets you compress three characters into two bytes of data (16 bits).
The compression algorithm only supports the characters A-Z, 0-9, ., -, $ or space. Lowercase letters are converted to their uppercase equivalent. All other characters are replaced with spaces.
