Detailed Description

Describing different kinds of string encodings

Encoding is an enumeration type describing different kinds of string encodings which shall be supported by OTX applications.

Order Relation
Encoding values may occur as operands of comparisons. For this case, the following order relation is defined. Started with the lowest value US-ASCII = 0:

US-ASCII < ISO-8859-1 < UTF-8 < UTF-16BE < UTF-16LE < UTF-16 < BIN < OCT < HEX

Literal
The syntax for Literals for complex data types will be used, where the member value is one of the values in the list.

@Encoding:US-ASCII|ISO-8859-1|UTF-8|UTF-16BE|UTF-16LE|UTF-16|BIN|OCT|HEX

Conversion terms
The following table shows the rules for conversion to another data type:

Conversion	Result	Sample
ToBoolean	Undefined (should not be used)
ToInteger	Returns the index of the value in the Encodings enumeration (smallest index is 0)	Integer val = ToInteger(@Encoding:US-ASCII); // Returns 0
ToFloat	Undefined (should not be used)
ToString	Returns the name of the enumeration value	String s = ToString(@Encoding:US-ASCII); // Returns "US-ASCII"
ToByteField	Undefined (should not be used)

Sample

StringUtil.Encoding EncodingVariable = @Encoding:US-ASCII;
