Converts binary data to string data using Hexadecimal encoding. Encode data when you want to store data in a database or file that does not allow binary data. You can also encode data to pass binary data through transformations in string format. The encoded data is double the length of the original binary data. It displays as the characters 0 through 9 and A through F.

To use the

ENC_HEX

function, set the environment variable

INFA_ENABLE_BINARY_FUNCTIONS

to True or Yes.
