QMOConv()

The QMOConv() function converts data to external form using a conversion code. It is analogous to the QMBasic OCONV() function.

Format

VB	QMOConv(ByVal Data as String, ByVal Code as String) as String

C	char * QMOConv(char * Data, char * Code)

Obj	Str = Session->OConv(Data, Code)

where

Data	is the data to be converted.

Code	is the conversion code to be applied.

The QMOConv() function returns a string representing the converted data. The QMStatus() function returns zero after a successful conversion. A non-zero value indicates an error as described for OCONV().

This function is evaluated on the server system to ensure access to all conversion codes and hence requires that a server connection is open.

Examples

VB	ExttDate = QMOConv(dt, "D2DMY")
C	ExtDate = QMOConv(dt, "D2DMY")
QMBasic	ExtDate = session->OConv(dt, D2DMY")

The above example converts an internal form data in the dt variable to external form, storing this in IntDate. Note that the returned value from QMOConv() is always a string. When using the C API, the memory occupied by this string must be released using QMFree() when no longer needed.
