RE: simple encode ???
If you really are not that concerned with security you can do #toBase64(id=123)# to encode and #toString(toBinary(toBase64(id=123)))# to decode. Totally insecure, but kind of sounds like what you want.

RE: simple encode ???
That is exactly what I want. It is not secure, but it is slightly sneaky. :-) Thanks Mark W.
