Description

GetSupportedEncodings is a procedure used to get the names for the supported encodings on the platform or operating system. GetSupportedEncodings adds each of the encoding names to List; it does NOT remove any existing content in the string list.

GetSupportedEncodings stores the following values in the List argument:

'UTF-8BOM'
'Ansi'
'cp1250' (EncodingCP1250)

'cp852' (EncodingCP852)
'cp865' (EncodingCP865)
'cp866' (EncodingCP866)
