The Function Block UU_ENCODE encodes a string using the UUencode algorithm (Unix-to-Unix encoding).
The Unix-to-Unix encoding converts all strings (including binary data) into printable characters to ensure their correct transmission over a network. UU-encoded data is approximately 35% longer than its original.
Note: The Function Block does not generate the beginning or ending line that are part of UU-encoded files.
A string is expected at the input.
The encoded value is output as a string.
