   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
   <parameter>encoding</parameter> can be any string identifier known to
   iconv or recode.

  <para>This function is deprecated and should be replaced by calling
   <function>px_set_parameter</function>.
  </para>
  <para>
   See also <function>px_get_info</function> to determine the DOS code page
   as stored in the database file.
