(PowerBuilder) Encode Integer to Hex or Base64 using N Bytes

Demonstrates how to write an integer to N bytes (little-endian or big-endian) and return the bytes in any encoding such as hex, base64, etc.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.77 or greater.

integer li_rc
oleobject loo_Crypt
integer li_Value
integer li_BLittleEndian
string s

loo_Crypt = create oleobject
// Use "Chilkat_9_5_0.Crypt2" for versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0
li_rc = loo_Crypt.ConnectToNewObject("Chilkat.Crypt2")
if li_rc < 0 then
    destroy loo_Crypt
    MessageBox("Error","Connecting to COM object failed")
    return
end if

// 1193046 decimal is equal to 0x123456 hex.
li_Value = 1193046

// Write the integer in 8 bytes using little-endian byte-order and return as hex
li_BLittleEndian = 1
s = loo_Crypt.EncodeInt(li_Value,8,li_BLittleEndian,"hex")
// The output is: 5634120000000000
Write-Debug s

// Now use big-endian...
li_BLittleEndian = 0
s = loo_Crypt.EncodeInt(li_Value,8,li_BLittleEndian,"hex")
// The output is: 0000000000123456
Write-Debug s

// Instead of hex, get the 8 bytes using base64.
s = loo_Crypt.EncodeInt(li_Value,8,li_BLittleEndian,"base64")
// The output is: AAAAAAASNFY=
Write-Debug s
