Function AX_Decrypt() Professional

Decryption of a previously encrypted string.

Syntax 
AX_Decrypt( <cString> [, <cPassword>] ) --> cDecrypted
Parameters
<cString>
The parameter <cString> contains that string that is to be decrypted.
<cPassword>
The optional parameter <cPassword> may contain the password to be used for decryption. If the parameter is not used, the decryption is based on the password set by a prior call of the AX_SetPass() function.
Return

This function returns the decrypted character string.

Description

The function AX_Decrypt() decrypts a string using the password set with the AX_SetPass() function (or its command opponent). If the optional parameter <cPassword> is used, the decryption is based upon the value of this parameter.

If <cString> does not contain a character string, the value of <cString> is returned unchanged.

Examples 
PROCEDURE Main 
   LOCAL cString, cPassword, cEncryt 

   cString   := "The fall of Hyperion"          // String to be encrypted 
   cPassWord := "Shrike"                        // Password 
   cEncrypt  := AX_Encrypt( cString, cPassWord) // Encryption of string 

   ? cEncrypt 

   cString := AX_Decrypt( cEncrypt, cPassword ) // Decryption of string 
   ? cString 

   AX_SetPass( "Kassad" )              // Set password for workarea 

   cEncrypt := AX_Encrypt( cString )   // Encrypt using workarea's password 
   ? cEncrypt 

   cString := AX_Decrypt( cEncrypt )   // Decrypt using workarea's password 
   ? cString 
RETURN
