#193 encodebase64 and decodebase64 methods of BIC String fails

[Anonymous]

The following code:

say 'Hello world'~encodebase64

produces this output:

SGVsbG8gd29=bG==

but it should be:

SGVsbG8gd29ybGQ=

The inverse operation:

say 'SGVsbG8gd29ybGQ='~decodebase64
say 'SGVsbG8gd29=bG=='~decodebase64

gives:

Helowold
2 - say 'SGVsbG8gd29=bG=='~decodebase64
Error 93 running d:\home\salvador\decode64.rex line 2:
Incorrect call to method
Error 93.962: Invalid Base 64 encoded string.

parse version and parse source:

The same happens with ooRexx 3.1 in Linux:

LINUX COMMAND /home/salvador/encode_decode.rex

PS. BIC means "Built-In Class".

Fixed the encodebase64 string method in CVS and SVN.
