Syntax:
PACKUR(string)
Takes a single string, expressed according to the Universal Resource (UR) specification (RFC 1630), as an argument and returns a packed string. That is, hexadecimal escape sequences (such as '%7E') are reduced to the character encoding that they represent (in this case, '~').
PACKUR is especially useful for processing the incoming data from a form, in which UR encoding is used. See the sample GOFILTER.80 for an example of this use.
