CS-Library includes routines to support:
Datatype conversion
Arithmetic operations
Character-set conversion
Datetime operations
Sort-order operations
Localization routines
CS-Library also includes routines to allocate CS-Library structures.
Although you can write a standalone CS-Library application, the library’s primary function is to provide common utilities to Open Client and Open Server applications.
Some of these routines offer functionality provided by existing Server-Library routines. While it is not yet necessary to replace the Server-Library routines with their CS-Library counterparts, it may be in the future.
