Set the encoding for data retrieved from a character field. All character
fields will be recoded to the encoding set by this function. If the
encoding is not set, the character data will be returned in the DOS code
page encoding as specified in the database file. The
<em><code class="parameter">encoding</code></em> can be any string identifier known to
iconv or recode. On Unix systems run <em>iconv -l</em> for
a list of available encodings.
