Library: omenc64 - base64 encoding and decoding Include: omenc64.xin

Declaration

  define stream function Decode64
                   value      stream Chars-In
     with-sequence value      stream EncodeSeq optional
     status        modifiable switch Status    optional

Where:
Chars-In

Incoming data encoded in Base64.

A sequence of up to 64 characters to be used as the decoding sequence. Duplicate characters are allowed but will be ignored. This sequence must be the one used with the Encode64 function that encoded the data.

This optional success switch will be set to false if a problem occurs.

You can use this function to convert encoded Base64 data into the original data. You can use this function to convert incoming 64-character-set data into binary data (255-character-set data) when processing incoming email attachments (for example, binary files) or sections.
