<p>The <strong>QlgTransformUCSData()</strong> function transforms, through a
formula as compared to a mapping, data from one form of Unicode to another. A
transformation type identification is used to specify the type of
transformation.</p>
<br>
<h3>Parameters</h3>
<dl>
<dt><strong>xformtype</strong></dt>
<dd>(Input) The type of transformation requested for execution (that is,
UCS2-UTF8, UTF8-UCS2). The <em>xformtype</em> parameter must be one of the
following values:
<table cellpadding="3">
<!-- cols="5 95" -->
<tr>
<td align="left" valign="top"><em>1</em></td>
<td valign="top">Transform from UCS-2 to UTF-8.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="left" valign="top"><em>2</em></td>
<td valign="top">Transform from UTF-8 to UCS-2.</td>
</tr>
</table>
<p>Other transformation types are one of the following allowable values from
the table of transformation types. The first three decimal digits represent the
from encoding and the last three decimal digits represent the to encoding. For
instance, 030042 is a transform from UTF-32 LE(Little Endian) (030) to UTF-16
BE(Big Endian) without a BOM(Byte Order Mark) (042).</p>
<p>Allowable decimal values:</p>
<p>010021, 010022, 010031, 010032, 010041, 010042, 010051, 010052, 010061,

</dd>
<dt><strong>inbuf</strong></dt>
<dd>(Input) A pointer to a variable (pointer) that points to the first
character in the input buffer. The variable (pointer) is updated to point to
the byte following the last byte successfully used in the transformation. The
maximum size of the input buffer is 16773104.<br>
<br>
</dd>
<dt><strong>inbytesleft</strong></dt>
<dd>(Input) A pointer to a variable containing the number of bytes to the end
of the input buffer to be transformed. This variable is decremented to reflect
the number of bytes still not transformed in the input buffer. The maximum
number of bytes that can be transformed is 16773104.<br>

</dd>
<dt><strong>outbuf</strong></dt>
<dd>(Input) A pointer to a variable (pointer) that points to the first
character in the output buffer. This variable (pointer) is updated to point to
the byte following the last byte of transformed output data. The maximum size
of the output buffer is 16773104.<br>
<br>
</dd>
<dt><strong>outbytesleft</strong></dt>
<dd>(Input) A pointer to a variable containing the number of bytes to the end
of the output buffer. This variable is decremented to reflect the number of
bytes still available in the output buffer. The maximum number of bytes that
can be transformed is 16773104.<br>
<br>
</dd>
<dt><strong>outspacereq</strong></dt>
<dd>(Input) A pointer to a variable containing the size of the output buffer
required to transform the remaining portion of the input buffer. This value
will not be accurate if a sequence error (EILSEQ) occurs, either independently
or following an E2BIG error.</dd>

<li>When requesting a BOM tagged output buffer the following BOM values will be
generated.<br>
