PX_SET_TARGETENCODING(3)				     Library Functions Manual					  PX_SET_TARGETENCODING(3)

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.
