ConvertFromString Method
The ConvertFromString method loads the object from a StringObject that holds a representation of binary data that has been converted to text.
This method has the following syntax:
integer = LongByteObject.ConvertFromString(string = StringObject,
format = integer );
This method has the following parameters:
string
(Required) Specifies the string object that holds the representation of binary data that has been converted to text
format
(Required) Specifies the data format of the text in the string parameter

EF_BASE64
Indicates that the string represents binary data that has been converted to text using the Base64 Content-Transfer-Encoding1 algorithm. For example, the string 'AAF/' is loaded as three bytes containing the values 0, 1, and 127.
