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.
