HELP: Convert from a binary data type to a neutral FL5 element TYPE: OBJECT SYNTAX: FROM(DECODE/ENCODE=OFF/BASE16/BASE32/BASE64,CHRSET=NONE/SYSTEM/ASCII/UCS1/UTF8/EBCDIC/UCS2BE/UTF16BE/UCS2LE/UTF16LE/UCS4BE/UTF32BE/UCS4LE/UTF32LE/LOCAL,IGNSPC)
This object can be used to convert several external representations of binary data (e.g. Base64/32 or hexadecimal) into a neutral internal binary data type (length and data).
