Encoding records to store or transfer data

• Base32 Encoding

• Base64 Encoding

• Hex Encoding

• URL Encoding

In Algoreus, you can use base encoding to store or transfer data in environments that are limited to US-ASCII data.

When you apply encoding, Algoreus generates a new column with a name following the format of <column>encode<type>, except for url-encode.

The encoding process follows these rules:

• If the column is null, the resulting column will also be null.

• If the specified column is not found in the record, the record is skipped.

• If the column value is not of either string or byte type, the process fails and an error displays.

Base32 Encoding

To apply base32 encoding, Algoreus adds the encode32 directive as a transformation step to the recipe and creates a new column with the encoded values.

---

Base64 Encoding

To apply base64 encoding, Algoreus adds the encode64 directive as a transformation step to the recipe and creates a new column with the encoded values.

---

Hex Encoding

To apply hex encoding, Algoreus adds the encode hex directive as a transformation step to the recipe and creates a new column with the encoded values.

---

URL Encoding

To apply URL encoding, Algoreus adds the url-encode directive as a transformation step to the recipe and encodes the current column.
