Hi Mark, although i am not the original poster i really appreciate you explanation. The only thing what was missing … It would have been nice if you had also put some sample code for how to UTF8 encode the string. That would have made your explanations complete. ;) I am pretty sure there are

Re: AW: AW: Why do I still need MacToISO, when working with UTF-8?

Hi Tiemo, thank you for taking your time and clarifying. I wasn't aware that the internal format on a Mac client is MacRoman. I thought it would be a "neutral" UTF-8 format. Internally, the engine uses either MacRoman/ISO-Latin1 *or* UTF-16 depending on platform and what the string contains.

Re: AW: Why do I still need MacToISO, when working with UTF-8?

Hi Tiemo, Okay so, I'm assuming that all this code is running on the Mac client... *put fld "name" into myName* At this point myName contains a (text) string - thus encoding issues don't exist (you should think of text strings in memory as being stored in an 'encoding neutral' format).

Why do I still need MacToISO, when working with UTF-8?

Hello, Probably my knowledge about code sets is too limited. My thinking was, that UTF-8 includes the same characters above ASCII 128 independent of the platform and makes data transfer between different platform compatible without conversion of a char set. Migrating a LC 6 program to LC 8 I just
