VS_Encrypt()         Encrypt a string

Description:

  VS_Encrypt() will encrypt a character expression so it can not be
  used/viewed without the appropriate key.

Syntax:     

  c_Encrypted = VS_Encrypt( c_String, n_Key )

Pass:       

  c_String is a character expression containing the value to
  encrypt.

  n_Key is a numeric value containing the "lock key" that
  VS_Encrypt() should use when creating the encrypted version of
  c_String

Return:     

  c_Encrypted is a character expression containing the encrypt value
  of c_String.

Notes:      

  To properly decrypt a string, you must use the same n_Key!!

Example:    

  REPLACE SECURITY->PASSWORD WITH VS_Encrypt( "ABCDEFGH", 5208 )

  ...
  ..

Usage:      

  VS_Encrypt() is used to keep your data from falling into the wrong
  hands/eyes.  If you encrypt your data, the only way it can be viewed
  is if the viewing person knows the proper value you used for
  n_Key.
