UTF8_TO_STRING
The function converts a string in UTF-8 format (pointer variable of the data type PVOID) into a string (variable) of the data type STRING.
The function returns
- TRUE if the conversion was possible.
- FALSE if the conversion was not possible due to the given character set.
If the input string is longer than the output string, the string will be truncated. Unknown characters are skipped.
The function stops the conversion after Tc2_Utilities.Parameterlist.cMaxCharacters
. With appropriate parameterization an infinite loop can be avoided.
FUNCTION UTF8_TO_STRING : BOOL
The return value is TRUE if the conversion was successful.

END_VAR
pDstSTRING: Pointer to the converted STRING variable (output string)
pSrcUTF8: Pointer variable (input string)
nDstSize: Size of the resulting STRING variable (output string) in bytes. The operator SIZEOF() can be used for the assignment.
