Usage

Decodes the given base64 string and returns it in its clear (human readable) form.

If the base64 string does not contain human readable data, the method will raise an exception.

If the base64 string contains bytes sequences that do not match a valid character in the current encoding, the method raises a conversion error.

In case of error, the method throws an exception and sets the STATUS variable. Depending on the error, a human-readable description of the problem is available in the SQLCA.SQLERRM register. See Error handling in GWS calls (STATUS).
