NAME

       PX_set_inputencoding — Set encoding for output

SYNOPSIS

       #include <paradox.h>

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

DESCRIPTION

       Sets  the input encoding for all alpha fields. It is used when data is stored into 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, "inputencoding", encoding) and is deprecated.

RETURN VALUE

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