Example
Following is an example using the BASE64-DECODE function:
DEFINE VARIABLE decdmptr AS MEMPTR NO-UNDO.
DEFINE VARIABLE decdlngc AS LONGCHAR NO-UNDO.
COPY-LOB FROM FILE "C:\myicons\testencode" TO decdlngc.
decdmptr = BASE64-DECODE(decdlngc).
COPY-LOB FROM decdmptr TO FILE "C:\myicons\test.ico".
