CHARUNPACK()
Decompresses (unpacks) a string
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Syntax
CHARUNPACK(<idPackCharacterstring>) --> cString
Argument
<idPackCharacterstring> Designates a string that was previously
compressed with the CHARPACK() function.
Returns
CHARUNPACK() returns an uncompressed string.
Description
This function unpacks strings compressed by the CHARPACK() function.
Notice that the related pack method is automatically recognized. Since
we presuppose that the CHARUNPACK() string parameter was compressed
previously with CHARPACK(), it is assured that the returned string is
not longer than the maximum permitted under CA-Clipper.
Example
The CHARUNPACK() function recreates a string:
? CHARUNPACK(CHARPACK("AAAAAAAAAAAA")) // "AAAAAAAAAAAA"
