====== OConv Variable Binary (VB) function  ======


 
==== Description ====
 
Converts a stored [[iconv_variable_binary_vb|IConv (VB)]] value back into its original form.
 
==== Syntax ====
 
//output// = **OConv**(//expression//, "**VB**")
 
==== Parameters ====
 
OConv (VB) takes the following arguments for its parameters.\\ \\ 
 
^Parameters^Description^
|//expression//|The value of expression must be the result of an IConv (VB) operation.|

  

The range of byte values from ASCII 249 -  255 are reserved as system delimiters. To store binary data in a dynamic array (any variable which contains multiple values delimited by the system delimiters), the binary data must be "escaped" by using the [[iconv_variable_binary_vb|IConv(VB]]) function. The escaped data replaces system delimiters with 2-byte sequences starting with char(0) and escapes char(0) with a second char(0). To convert the escaped data back to binary, use [[oconv_variable_binary_vb|OConv(VB)]].
