TEXTTOBASE64 (single-object-expression)

Meaning:

Returns:

A single-text-item

The TEXTTOBASE64 function receives a text object and uses the MIME implementation to convert the text to Base64 format. The MIME implementation adds the <CR><LF> character sequence after every 76 bytes and also at the end of the output string.

TEXTTOBASE64 returns a single data object that represents the Base64 encoding of the original text object. If an error occurs during conversion, no data is returned.
