## Procedures

- `WindowsToASCII(InText: Text): Text`
- `GetPaddedString(StringToModify: Text[250]; PadLength: Integer; PadCharacter: Text[1]; Justification: Option Right,Left): Text[250]`
- `RemoveDecimalFromString(StringToModify: Text[250]; PadLength: Integer; PadCharacter: Text[1]; Justification: Option Right,Left): Text[250]`
- `RemoveNonAlphaNumericCharacters(InputString: Text): Text`

Plus 4 local procedures.

## Triggers

OnRun

## Calls

From the extracted call graph of BC29 (graphify-al on the snapshot checkout): calls whose target is known from a declared type or an `Object::"Name"` argument. Interface dispatch and calls through events are not counted, so the list is not complete.

- [Codeunit 3960 "Regex"](../codeunit/3960.md) (1 call: `RemoveNonAlphaNumericCharacters → Replace`)

## Called by

- [Table 1226 "Payment Export Data"](../table/1226.md) (2 calls: `ConvertFieldsToLatinCharacters → WindowsToASCII`, `ConvertToASCII → WindowsToASCII`)
- [Codeunit 1210 "Payment Export Mgt"](../codeunit/1210.md) (1 call: `ProcessColumnMapping → GetPaddedString`)
- [Codeunit 1244 "Transform. Rule - Basic"](../codeunit/1244.md) (1 call: `RemoveNonAlphaNumericCharacters → RemoveNonAlphaNumericCharacters`)
- [Codeunit 1711 "Positive Pay Export Mgt"](../codeunit/1711.md) (1 call: `ProcessColumnMapping → GetPaddedString`)

Source: AL metadata extracted from the code (names, ids, signatures, properties); no code bodies (D10).

## Ask your agent

Procedure bodies are not stored here (D10). The call sections above are our own, per object, from the BC29 call graph. For a procedure body or the calls of one procedure, ask bc-code-atlas (external, by Stefan Maron, MIT; default corpus w1-28), which the bc-observatory plugin connects: `bcatlas_resolve_node(object_type: "codeunit", object_name: "StringConversionManagement")`, then `bcatlas_get_procedure_body` or `bcatlas_get_neighbors` on the returned id.
