NAME

       PX_set_targetencoding — Set encoding for output

SYNOPSIS

       #include <paradox.h>

       int PX_set_targetencoding(pxdoc_t *pxdoc, const char *encoding)

DESCRIPTION

       Sets  the target encoding for all alpha fields. It is used when data is
       retrieved from a record. The encoding must be a name as it is described
       by  the man and info pages of recode or iconv               whatever is
       used. A common value is ‘latin1’ on Unix systems. If you do not set the
       encoding  the  function  PX_get_data_alpha(3) will return field data in
       the original encoding otherwise it will recode the field data.

       This   function   is   a   short   cut   form   PX_set_parameter(pxdoc,
       "targetencoding", encoding) and is deprecated.

RETURN VALUE

       Returns  -2  if recoding is not supported and a value < 0 in case of an
       error, otherwise 0.
