Included for backward compatibility. Use the CPCONVERT( ) Function instead.

This function is undocumented in the original VFP9 help file,
but the following documentation was found in the FoxPro for Windows 2.6 help, and may still be valid:

Converts each character in a character expression to the corresponding character in the ANSI character set.

Parameters

expC
 OEMTOANSI() converts each character in expC to the corresponding character in the ANSI character set. The character expression expC should contain characters from the MS-DOS (OEM) character set.

 If a character in expC doesn't have an ANSI equivalent, the character is converted to a similar ANSI character. For example, MS-DOS line-drawing characters might not be found in the ANSI character set.

Return Value
