Convert Value to Bytes Method

The Convert Value to Bytes method converts the value that the value argument contains to bytes, and then places this value in a buffer. This method is unique to Siebel eScript. For more information, see Make Sure the JavaScript Interpreter Can Run a Function.

This method does not convert a Unicode value to a corresponding ASCII value. For example, it stores the Unicode string Hit as the following value:

\OH\Oi\Ot

This value is the following hexadecimal sequence:

00 48 00 69 00 74
