Format Conversion Functions

Format conversion functions convert fields from one format to another.

For information on field formats see the Describing Data With WebFOCUS Language manual

For many functions, the output argument can be supplied either as a field name or as a format enclosed in single quotation marks. However, if a function is called from a Dialogue Manager command, this argument must always be supplied as a format, and if a function is called from a Maintain Data procedure, this argument must always be supplied as a field name.
