This document describes various Software AG Natural functions whose
names start with SAG and which are based on the principle of a user defined
function; see User-Defined
Functions in the Programming
Guide.
These Natural functions are delivered in the library SYSTEM
on system file FNAT. Sample function calls are provided in the
library SYSEXPG.
Interfacing Natural applications with HTTP requests often requires that the URI (Uniform Resource Identifiers) is URL-encoded.
The REQUEST DOCUMENT statement
needs such a URL to access a document.
URL-Encoding (or Percent-Encoding) is a mechanism to replace some special characters in parts of a URL. Only characters of the US-ASCII character set can be used to form a URL. Some characters of the US-ASCII character set have a special meaning when used in a URL - they are classified as "reserved" control characters, which structure the URL string into different semantic subcomponents. The quasi standard concerning the generic syntax of an URL is laid down in RFC3986, a document composed by the Internet community. It describes under which conditions the URL-Encoding is needed. This includes the representation of characters which are not inside the US-ASCII character set (for example, Euro sign), and it describes the use of reserved characters.
Reserved characters are:
| ? | = | & | # | ! | $ | % | ' | ( | ) | * | + | , | / | : | ; | @ | [ | ] |
Non reserved characters are:
| A-Z | a-z | 0-9 | - | _ | . | ~ |
A URL may only consist of reserved and non-reserved characters, other characters are not permitted. If other byte values are
needed (which do not correspond to any of
the reserved and non-reserved characters) or if reserved characters are used as data (which should not have a special semantic
meaning in the URL context), they need to
be translated into the "%-encoding" form - a percent sign, immediately followed by the two-digit hexadecimal representation of the code point, due to the Windows-1252
encoding scheme. This causes a plus sign (+) to appear as %2B, a percent sign (%) to appear as %25 and an at sign (@) to appear as %40 in the string.
The following encoding functions are operating the complete input string. You should take care not to encode a complete URL or parts of it if they contain control characters (reserved characters) which must not be translated into the percent-form. These functions should only be applied to characters not permitted for use in a URL, and to characters with a special meaning inside the URL context, which are supplied as a data item.
SAGENCE - Extended Encoding (Format U to Format A, Optional Parameters)
SAGDECE - Extended Decoding (Format A to Format U, Optional Parameters)
The single input parameter contains the character string to be encoded or decoded. All data inside is regarded as represented
in code page Windows-1252, regardless which
session code page is really active at this time. The execution of the SAGENC/SAGDEC functions does not require Unicode support. The following characters are replaced
with the corresponding US-ASCII hexadecimal equivalents.

| is encoded to %nn | 3C | 28 | 2B | 7C | 26 | 21 | 24 | 2A | 29 | 3B | 2F | 2C | 25 | 3E | 3F | 60 | 3A | 23 | 40 | 27 | 3D | 22 | 5E | 5B | 5D | 7B | 7D | 5C |
In addition, a space is replaced with a plus sign (+). All other characters are not translated and remain as they are. The simple encoding function should be sufficient in most cases of URL encoding. The result field returned is of format A dynamic.
The following functions are available:
The function SAGENC encodes a character string into its percent-encoded form. According to standard RFC3986, reserved characters and
characters below US-ASCII x'7F' (which are not allowed in a URL)
will be percent-encoded, a space character is replaced with a plus sign (+).
Unreserved characters according to RCF3986 and characters above
US-ASCII x'7F', such as German umlauts, are not encoded. If
you want to encode such characters, use the extended encoding function
SAGENCE.
SAGENC |
This is the simple encoding function call. |
SAGENCP |
The copycode containing the prototype
definition is used at compilation time only in order to determine the type of
the return variable for function call reference and to check the parameters, if
this is desired.
|
URLX01 |
Example program
contained in library SYSEXPG.
#URL-ENC := SAGENC(<#URL-DEC>) |
The function SAGDEC decodes the percent-encodings as provided
by the function SAGENC. Besides the decoding
string, no other input parameters are necessary.
SAGDEC |
This is the simple decoding function call. |
SAGDECP |
The copycode containing the prototype
definition is used at compilation time only in order to determine the type of
the return variable for function call reference and to check the parameters, if
this is desired.
|
URLX01 |
Example program
contained in library SYSEXPG.
#URL-DEC := SAGDEC(<#URL-ENC>) |
The extended function considers all issues which are specified or recommended in RFC 3986. The following parameters may be considered (default settings shown in bold):
<dynamic U-string> to be encoded/decoded
Return code: <> 0 (Natural error) if error in
MOVE
ENCODED statement.
Error character if return code <> 0
Space character: %20/+/don't encode (default: +)
Unreserved characters: encode/don't encode
Reserved characters: encode/don't encode
Other special characters (neither unreserved nor reserved): encode/don't encode
Character Percent-Encoding: ISO-8859-1/UTF-8/any other code page/if = ' '
then *CODEPAGE
(default Natural code page, not default encoding code page!)
User-selected character in an X-array of format U, which shall not be percent-encoded according to the above parameters, for example, for the Euro sign character, which is not in the ISO-8859-1 code page, or to prevent a character from percent-encoding.
User defined percent-encoding in an X-array of format A, for a user-selected character in the same occurrence of the X-array.
The input parameter for a character string will be in Natural format
U. This means the input string may contain all Unicode characters. The output
string of the extended function is of format A in the Natural default code page
(*CODEPAGE).
The code page of the percent-encoding can be selected. The UTF-8, ISO-8859-1, percent-encoding of the Euro
sign will be done by the MOVE ENCODED
statement. If an input character does not exist in the target code page used
for percent-encoding, the character will not be encoded. This means the character
will be returned unchanged in the default Natural code page. If the character
does not exist in the default Natural code page either, it will be replaced by
that substitution character which is returned by the MOVE ENCODED
statement. The substitution character will be percent-encoded. This may happen only
if the percent-encoding code page is not UTF-8. The last MOVE ENCODED
error will be returned.
The parameters are optional parameters. If the user does not specify a parameter, the default value will be assumed. If the user specifies an own character translation table, the characters in the table will be percent-encoded according to this table and not according to the other parameters. If the percent-encoding of a character in the user-defined translation table is equal to the character or blank, this character will not be encoded. Thus, single characters from the reserved or unreserved character set can be excluded.
The following functions are available:
SAGENCE -
Extended encoding (format U to format A, optional parameters)
SAGDECE -
Extended decoding (format A to format U, optional parameters)
The function SAGENCE percent-encodes a string, using the
hexadecimal value of the selected code page (default UTF-8). According to
standard RFC3986, reserved characters and characters below US-ASCII
x'7F', which are not allowed in a URL, will be percent-encoded. Also, the
space and the percent sign (%) will be encoded.
In addition, unreserved characters according to RCF3986 and characters
above US-ASCII x'7F', such as German umlauts, will be encoded by
this function.
SAGENCE needs Natural Unicode support.

This section describes Natural functions which can be used to convert binary data into printable, network-compatible data or vice versa, using Base64 conversion.
Base64 conversion means conversion from format B to format A and back to format B, where 6 (binary) bits will be converted into 8 (alphanumerical) bits; for example, a B3 value will be converted into an A4 value.
Anmerkung:
Every binary value will be converted into a non-ambiguous
alphanumerical value. Re-converting this alphanumerical value again will result
in the original binary value. However, this is not the case for most of the
format A to format B and back to format A conversions.
The conversion may be used to transfer a .bmp file via
TCP/IP, or to transfer Natural binary or integer values via the utility
protocol.
On Open Systems only: There are 3 modes
available: RFC3548, RFC2045 and NATRPC
(default). NATRPC means the conversion is done according the
NATRPC logic. This is 100% mainframe compatible.
RFC2045 is the default of the CMBASE64 call. RFC3548
is like NATRPC, but alphanumerical bytes which are not needed are
filled with an equals sign character (=).
The following functions are available:
These two functions together provide the same functionality as the
Natural application programming interface USR4210N, which is
delivered in library SYSEXT.
The function SAG64BA converts binary data into printable,
network-compatible data, using Base64 encoding.
