ENCODE
Syntax:
ENCODE ($String[,$Key]) ==> $Result
Description:
Encodes a GCL string, for example, a password.
Action: The specified string is encoded using the specified key, if any. If no key
is specified, a default key is used. The encoded output string has the
same length as the input string.
Parameters:
$String. String expression. The input string to encode.
$Key. String expression. Optional. The encoding key to use.
Returns:
$Result. String expression. The encoded output string.
Notes: The input string must contain only printable ASCII characters, from
space to ~. If it contains unprintable characters (for example, control
characters), $Result contains an empty string and an error message is
logged in icsexec.log.
Example: $a := "kdfjdkfj dkf@#%"
$b := encode($a)
