Description
Converts a character string to a Unicode blob.
Syntax
ToUnicode ( string )
Return value
Blob.
Returns a Unicode blob if it succeeds and an empty blob if it fails.
Usage
The ToUnicode function converts an ANSI character string to a Unicode blob. ToUnicode has the same result as Blob(string) and will be obsolete in a future version of PowerBuilder.
Unicode file format
Unicode files sometimes have two extra bytes at the start of the file to indicate that they are Unicode files.
