Right after you tell me about the bitwise operators in MUMPS!
Actually, though you can't do bit arithmetic in MUMPS, you do have $A()
and $C() so its quite possible to perform ordinary arithmetic on
character values, so something like base64 shouldn't be too hard.
Fileman even provides a basic hex encoding tool, unfortunately misnamed
$$HTML^DILF. It works like this:
>W $$HTML^DILF("This^is^a^delimited^string",1)
This^is^a^delimited^string
(a second argument of -1 performs the inverse operation).
I've used this call a number of times, particularly in input/output
transforms.
