ConvertEncodingErrorMode variable

Declaration

ConvertEncodingErrorMode: TConvertEncodingErrorMode = ceemSkip

Description

ConvertEncodingErrorMode is a unit global TConvertEncodingErrorMode variable which controls the behavior when an error is detected in an encoding conversion routine. For example:

• UTF-8 to single byte encoding
• DBCS (Asian code pages) encoding to UTF-8
• UTF-8 to DBCS (Double Byte Character Sets)

The default value for the variable is ceemSkip, and indicates that an error is skipped or ignored when encountered in an encoding conversion.

Introduced in version 2.2. Replaces use of the ConvertEncodingErrorRaisesException variable.
