Example 2

In a database you have defined a text field named “receivedEmail” which contains the body of an email which contains a part that is encoded as ASCII Safe. Then you can define a calculation field:

DecodedCalc   calculation     = Encr_DecodeSafeAscii ( "-Unused" ;  ReceivedEmail )

this field will contain the decoded text.
