Right.

I also have add in your stack you have sent me few days ago

    Database_Open()
    Database_IOEncoding( dbRef ,  "Macintosh" )

Yes always after db open or db create

This becomes clear if you remember that you can also connect to VSERVER.

So you connect, open db, and then you PROMISE / ASK
That your INPUT and OUTPUT strings will be in THIS encoding.

But other users of that VSERVER may want work with OTHER encoding.

So VSERVER on the fly convert for each user to asked encoding

Cool?  :-)
