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.
