DESCRIPTION

       Unix crypt. The apr_crypt routine is compatible to the function used in
       Apache's htpasswd utility.

       The argument can be a character string that is either a CHAR or VARCHAR
       not exceeding 4096 bytes.

       The  result of the function is CHAR(13). The result can be null; if the
       argument is null, the result is the null value.

EXAMPLES

       Example 1:

       Inserting the user test and the crypted clear text testpwd to the table
       users.

       INSERT INTO USERS (username, password)
         VALUES ('test', apr_crypt('testpwd'))

       Example 2:

       SELECT apr_crypt('testpwd') FROM SYSIBM.SYSDUMMY1
