Convert Method

This method converts the value in the input property set to the target encoding in the output. You use this method when data enters or leaves Oracle’s Siebel CRM and conversion is required so that the next software component in the processing chain can recognize the data.

The Convert method has the method arguments shown in the following table.

Method Argument	Required	Description
<Value>	Yes	Data to convert.

SourceEncoding	No	Encoding from which data is converted. Required for the EncodingToString and EncodingToEncoding modes.
TargetEncoding	No	Encoding to which data is converted. Required for the StringToEncoding and EncodingToEncoding modes.
IgnoreConversionErrors	No	To ignore character conversion errors (invalid-character errors or substitution errors), set IgnoreConversionErrors to TRUE. Note: This argument is not shown in Siebel Tools.
